The menu, dish by dish
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
Soft rolls hold the pork, stuffing and apple sauce together, easy to eat standing up. Ask for gluten-free rolls if you need them.
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Our vegetarian option is halloumi and vegetable skewers: squeaky, salty cheese with colourful veg, in a roll or on a plate.
The process
A hog roast is always cooked outside, under a gazebo on level ground, well clear of walls, tents and trees. We’ll agree the spot with you beforehand. In late May, sunset in Temple Bar is about 8:50pm, and midsummer ones until about 9:20pm. After dark, the stall needs lighting.
- You tell us the event, the pitch and the expected crowd.
- We check access to the pitch and send a price.
- We arrive early, set up on the pitch and start roasting.
- We serve to order through the event.
- We pack down, take our waste and leave the pitch clean.
How to prepare
- Have a covered area for eating in case of rain
- Have a level outdoor spot ready

Planning for dietary needs
A hog roast is pork, so plan for anyone who does not eat it. Some ways to look after everyone:
- Gluten-free rolls can be brought on request
- Plan separately for halal if needed
- Check other traders are not all selling pork
- Tell us if there is a vegetarian or vegan focus
If the ground is soft, we’ll need a firm route on and off, particularly in wet weather.
Add rotisserie chicken for visitors who do not eat pork.

Temple Bar is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and access can be tight: let us know how we reach the cooking spot and where we can park.
