Common questions in Whiteley Bank
What about windy coastal sites?
Yes, of course. We roast under cover and choose a sheltered spot where we can.
Do you trade at school fairs around Whiteley Bank?
Yes, with the school’s permission. Send us the date and where the roaster would go.
Do you offer gluten-free rolls?
We can provide gluten-free rolls if you ask. Stuffing typically contains gluten, so check the allergen information.

We bring plates as standard. China crockery is available on request and quoted separately.
Can you be flexible on serving time?
We work back from when you want to eat, and we can hold the roast for a while if the day runs behind.

Just a pitch, access and any agreed paperwork. We bring the rest.
Do you serve the food?
You don’t need anyone else: our chef carves and our team serves and clears.

What to look for in a quote
- The space, cover and access they need
- When they arrive and when the food will be ready
- How they handle allergens and dietary needs
- Which meats, sides and extras are included
Should I cook it myself?
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you.
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is typically easier.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. Here are a few tips:
- Plan separately for halal if needed
- Gluten-free rolls can be brought on request
- Put the menu and allergen information on display
- Let us know if many visitors are vegetarian
At the end, we pack down and take our waste.
Coleslaw goes well with pork rolls.
How the day works
Rain does not stop the roast, because we cook under cover. It is worth planning a sheltered place for people to eat, too. Late-May events in Whiteley Bank have light until about 8:55pm, and midsummer ones until about 9:20pm. Evening festivals need lighting by the stall after that.
- Organisers send us the date, site, numbers and how food will be paid for.
- You get a check on the date and pitch, and a quote.
- On the day we set up under cover and get the hog on.
- We carve and serve through the agreed hours.
- Afterwards we clear the pitch and go.
Preparing for the day
- Think about shelter for your visitors
- Keep the spot clear of buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches
- Measure the narrowest gate or passage
