How the day works
Expect a calm, organised set-up. We agree arrival and serving times in advance, set up where we’ve agreed, and get on with roasting and serving. In late May, sunset in Newington is about 8:50pm, and midsummer ones until about 9:15pm. Evening festivals need lighting by the stall after that.

About our hog roast for events in Newington
Organisers need traders who turn up and serve well. We bring everything, roast on the pitch and leave it clean. Popular choices include rotisserie chicken, halloumi skewers and crackling, and we are regularly asked to cater community days and street fairs and fundraising events.
Summer fairs around Newington are often run by volunteers, so a trader who brings everything is a bonus. You’ll know what’s included before booking: the date, the serving time, the menu and the plates, with no surprises on the day.
The menu, dish by dish

Rotisserie chicken is there for anyone who’d rather not have pork, and it suits fussy eaters.

If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before booking.
