How it works
Here’s how the day generally runs: we arrive, set up under cover and start roasting, the pork cooks slowly for hours, and our chef carves it when you’re ready. Late-May events in Lower Kingswood have light until about 8:50pm, while at midsummer it is about 9:20pm. Evening festivals need lighting by the stall after that.

We also hire out the hog roast machine for confident cooks. You cook and carve it yourself; we will confirm what comes with it when you ask.
