What happens on the day
Here’s how the day generally runs: we arrive, set up under cover and start roasting, the roast cooks gently through the day, and our chef carves it when you are ready. At midsummer, events in Marlow Common stay light until about 9:25pm, so evening trading usually finishes in daylight in high summer. Winter fairs, dark by about 3:55pm, need a well-lit pitch.
- You tell us the event, the pitch and the expected crowd.
- 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 rolls to order as the queue moves.
- We pack up and leave the pitch tidy.
Getting ready for the day
- Ask about allergies and dietary needs beforehand
- Let us know about tight access
