Planning for dietary needs
Allergies and dietary needs are easy to manage if we know in advance. Some ideas:
- Halal isn’t offered
- Tell us if there is a vegetarian or vegan focus
- Show allergens at the stall
- Stuffing normally contains gluten
If the ground is soft, we’ll need a firm route on and off, particularly in wet weather.

Planners, venues and businesses

If you are a venue or event planner, we are happy to work alongside your team, sharing timings and a site plan.
Step by step
The secret is time: the meat cooks gently until it’s tender while the skin turns into crackling. Then it rests briefly before our chef carves. Christmas fairs and lights switch-ons in Newingreen 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 access to the pitch and send a price.
- On the day we set up under cover and get the hog on.
- We serve to order through the event.
- We pack up and leave the pitch tidy.
Preparing for the day
- Send final numbers in good time
- Plan somewhere sheltered for people to eat if it rains
- Let us know about tight access
