For planners, venues and organisers
For events on land you do not own, such as a park or field, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
For venues and planners, we can fit around your other suppliers, sharing timings and a site plan.
The process
The secret is time: the meat cooks gently until it’s tender while the skin crisps into crackling. It rests for a short while before carving. Summer events in Great Hollands have daylight until about 9:25pm at midsummer and about 7:05pm by late September, which helps evening trading. Winter fairs, dark by about 3:55pm, need a well-lit pitch.
- 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 clear up and go.
Preparing for the day
- Send final numbers in good time
- Make sure we can wheel the roaster to the spot
- Measure the narrowest gate or passage
