What else we do in Kemptown
How it works
Carving is part of the show: our chef carves the pork in front of the queue, with crackling for everyone who wants it. In late May, sunset in Kemptown is about 8:50pm, and midsummer ones until about 9:15pm. Evening festivals need lighting by the stall after that.
- 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.
Before we arrive
- Keep the spot clear of buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches
- Let us know about tight access
- Ensure we can wheel the roaster to the spot
Getting a price

Full catering or machine hire?
