What happens on the day
Carving is part of the show: our chef carves the pork in front of the queue, with crackling for everyone who wants it. Christmas fairs and lights switch-ons in Fairlight are dark by about 3:55pm, so the pitch needs good lighting and a clear route for the queue.
- Organisers send us the event details.
- We confirm the pitch and send a price.
- The roast starts before the gates open.
- We carve to order through the day.
- We pack down and take our waste.
Preparing for the day
- Have a level outdoor spot ready
- Have a covered area for eating in case of rain
- Ask about allergies and dietary needs beforehand

Planning help
Full catering or machine hire?
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience, especially outdoors.
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
