Common questions in Tidworth
Can you come to a school fair in Tidworth?
Yes, if the school is happy for a hog roast on site. Tell us the date and pitch details.
How far is Tidworth from London?
About 70 miles from central London.
Do you need power or water?
No, the roast is cooked on gas. Let us know what’s on site.
Do you trade at village fêtes?
A hog roast suits a fête perfectly. Get in touch.
Can visitors buy their own food?
That depends on the event. Tell us what you have in mind and we will talk it through.
What about coeliacs?
Ask for gluten-free rolls and we will bring them. We’ll give you full allergen information for every dish.
Do you bring plates?
We supply plates as standard. China is available at an extra cost.
Can you roast in the rain?
Rain doesn’t stop the cooking. A marquee, hall or barn for eating makes all the difference.
Planning for dietary needs
Rolls and stuffing typically contain gluten, so ask for gluten-free rolls if you need them. A few more tips:
- Halal is not offered
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if you expect coeliac visitors
- Check other traders are not all selling pork
- Tell us if there’s a vegetarian or vegan focus
We follow the organiser’s site rules, including vehicle times and pitch layout.
If your event has a theme, tell us.
How the day works
We roast under cover, so a shower won’t spoil the food. It is worth planning a sheltered place for people to eat, too. Late-September events in Tidworth lose the light at about 7:10pm, so evening trading needs lights.
- It starts with your event date, site and expected numbers.
- We check the pitch and any paperwork, then quote.
- We arrive early, set up on the pitch and start roasting.
- We carve and serve through the agreed hours.
- We pack up and leave the pitch tidy.
Getting ready for the day
- Pick a flat, open area outside for cooking
- Keep the spot clear of buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches
- Name a contact for the day
How to get a price
The quickest way to get a price is to send us your date, venue and numbers. A picture of where the roaster could go helps us check the space. Use our quote form.
