About our hog roast for events in Warlingham
School fairs and sports days need food that families like. Pork rolls, chicken and a vegan option cover most visitors. Typical bookings include car and steam shows and food and music festivals, with hog roast rolls, apple sauce and crackling.
Summer fairs around Warlingham are frequently run by volunteers, so a trader who brings everything is a bonus. Your quote spells out what’s included: serving times, the menu, staff and anything else agreed, with no surprises on the day.
Step by step
A hog roast is always cooked outside, on a level, open spot under cover, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches. We will agree the spot with you beforehand. Christmas fairs and lights switch-ons in Warlingham are dark by about 3:55pm, so plan lights for the stall and the queue.
- Organisers send us the date, site, numbers and how food will be paid for.
- We check access to the pitch and send a price.
- On the day we set up under cover and get the hog on.
- We carve rolls to order as the queue moves.
- We pack up and leave the pitch tidy.
Preparing for the day
- Name a contact for the day
- Let us know about tight access
- Make sure we can wheel the roaster to the spot
