A closer look at the menu

Yaverland: your questions answered
What about windy coastal sites?
Yes. Wind is something we plan for: a sheltered spot and secure cover.
Do you trade at school fairs around Yaverland?
Yes, with the school’s permission. Send us the date and where the roaster would go.
What paperwork do you provide?
Send us your trader requirements, and we will confirm what we can provide.
Can you sell directly to visitors?
That depends on the event. Tell us what you have in mind and we will discuss the options.
Can you cook inside a hall or marquee?
The roaster always stays outside, under cover, away from buildings and marquee walls. Serving inside is frequently possible, with the venue’s agreement.
What should we sort out beforehand?
The agreed cooking area, access for our equipment and someone to meet us. We bring everything else.
Do you clear up?
We clear the serving area and pack away, and leave the area tidy.
What happens in bad weather?
We roast under cover, so the food isn’t affected. Plan somewhere sheltered for eating.
Where the roaster can go in Yaverland
It’s worth planning the cooking area in advance. We look for:
- Event approval for hot-food traders
- A safe distance from other traders
- Details of what the event requires
Yaverland is a more remote spot, so tell us early and we’ll plan the journey.
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before you book.

How the day works
On the day, we set up the roaster on the agreed spot, put the cover up and start the roast. From there it cooks low and slow for hours, worked back from your serving time. Late-September events in Yaverland lose the light at about 7:10pm, so evening trading needs lights.
- 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.
- We arrive early, set up on the pitch and start roasting.
- We carve rolls to order as the queue moves.
- Afterwards we clear the pitch and go.
Before we arrive
- Think about shelter for your visitors
- Give us final numbers a week or so before
- Tell us about narrow gates or side passages

DIY versus a catered hog roast
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.
Working with your venue
If you are booking for a workplace, ask your facilities team about outside caterers and gas cooking. We work to the site’s rules.
Planning on behalf of a committee? One clear contact makes everything easier, particularly when timings shift.
Planning for dietary needs
A hog roast is pork, so plan for anyone who does not eat it. Some ways to look after everyone:
- Share the event’s food safety requirements with us
- Make the stall easy to find
- Put the menu and allergen information on display
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if you expect coeliac visitors
We work to your event plan, including when vehicles can move.
Gluten-free rolls are available on request.
Why choose a hog roast in Yaverland?
