The process
We roast under cover, so a shower won’t spoil the food. It is worth planning a sheltered place for people to eat, too. Summer events in Hooe Common have daylight until about 9:15pm at midsummer and about 7:00pm by late September, so evening trading generally finishes in daylight in high summer. Winter fairs, dark by about 3:55pm, need a well-lit pitch.
- It starts with your event date, site and expected numbers.
- We check access to the pitch and send a price.
- On the day we set up under cover and get the hog on.
- We carve and serve through the agreed hours.
- Afterwards we clear the pitch and go.
Before we arrive
- Collect dietary needs and allergies in advance
- Pick a flat, open area outside for cooking
- Give us final numbers a week or so before
