Planning the cooking spot

- Details of what the event requires
- Space for people to queue
- A level pitch
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.

The process
It’s a relaxed, well-organised set-up. Arrival and serving times are agreed beforehand, set up where we’ve agreed, and roast, carve and serve without fuss. Christmas fairs and lights switch-ons in Lavendon are dark by about 3:50pm, so the pitch needs good lighting and a clear route for the queue.
- Organisers send us the date, site, numbers and how food will be paid for.
- We check the pitch and any paperwork, then quote.
- On the day we set up under cover and get the hog on.
- We carve rolls to order as the queue moves.
- We pack down, take our waste and leave the pitch clean.
Getting ready for the day
- Keep the spot clear of buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches
- Pick a flat, open area outside for cooking
- Ensure we can wheel the roaster to the spot

Should I cook it myself?
Full catering or machine hire? With catering, our chef roasts, carves and serves, and our staff clear up. With DIY hire, you do the work and save on staffing.
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience, especially outdoors.
