Planning for dietary needs
Not everyone eats pork, so plan an alternative. Helpful tips:
- Signpost the stall clearly
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if you expect coeliac visitors
- Remember stuffing generally contains gluten
- Halal is not offered
We carve to order through the agreed hours.
Tell us about any theme, such as a vintage fête.
How it works
We roast under cover, so a shower will not spoil the food. Your visitors will still want somewhere dry to eat, such as a marquee, hall or barn. At midsummer, events in Wivelrod stay light until about 9:25pm, which helps evening trading. For winter events, dark by about 4:00pm, the pitch needs lighting.
- Share the date, site and expected crowds.
- We agree how food will be paid for.
- We arrive and set up under cover.
- Carving keeps the queue moving.
- We tidy the pitch.
Preparing for the day
- Confirm numbers ahead of the day
- Have a covered area for eating in case of rain
- Let us know about tight access

Working with your venue

If you are a venue or event planner, we’re happy to work alongside your team.

You could go for a cold buffet, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you.
