How the day works
Carving is part of the show: our chef carves the pork in front of the queue, and the crackling is shared out so everyone gets some. At midsummer, events in Phoenix Green stay light until about 9:25pm, which helps evening trading. For winter events, dark by about 3:55pm, the pitch needs lighting.
- Start with the date and numbers.
- We discuss the package or stall options.
- We roast on the pitch.
- Carving keeps the queue moving.
- We clear up and go.
Preparing for the day
- Gather dietary requirements early
- Have a covered area for eating in case of rain
- Choose a level, open spot outdoors for the roaster

Catered or do it yourself?
You could go for a cold buffet, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience.
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from early set-up to carving at the end. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
A hog roast or other catering?
Compared with a barbecue stall, a hog roast serves quickly from one roast. Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. Slow roasting means we are on site for much of the day, which is built into the price.
