A closer look at the menu
Crackling
For many people, the crackling is the best bit: golden, crunchy and salty, straight off the hog.
Rotisserie chicken
Rotisserie chicken is a simple, popular alternative to pork, turned until the skin is golden.
How the day works
Serving is straightforward: the chef carves and the team serves, with the sides served alongside. When everyone has eaten, we clear up and leave the spot tidy. At midsummer, events in Catmore stay light until about 9:25pm, so evening trading generally finishes in daylight in high summer. Winter fairs, dark by about 4:00pm, need a well-lit pitch.
- Start with the date and numbers.
- We discuss the package or stall options.
- We arrive and set up under cover.
- We serve rolls quickly.
- We tidy the pitch.
Preparing for the day
- Have a covered area for eating in case of rain
- Give us final numbers a week or so before
- Measure the narrowest gate or passage

You could go for a cold buffet, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience.
