Step by step
Carving is part of the show: the hog is carved in front of your visitors, with crackling for everyone who wants it. Christmas fairs and lights switch-ons in Poundsbridge are dark by about 3:55pm, 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 the pitch and any paperwork, then quote.
- We arrive early, set up on the pitch and start roasting.
- We carve rolls to order as the queue moves.
- We pack down, take our waste and leave the pitch clean.
Getting ready for the day
- Choose someone to meet us on arrival
- Plan somewhere sheltered for people to eat if it rains
- Confirm numbers ahead of the day

Why Poundsbridge hosts choose us
- Choices for people who do not eat pork
- Planned to your running order
- Cooked on the day, low and slow
- Staff to serve, so you don’t have to

Working with your venue
If you’re organising for someone else, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, tell us who our contact on the day will be. We’ll keep you both updated.
For events on land you don’t own, such as a park or field, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
Planning the cooking spot
It’s worth planning the cooking area in advance. The ideal spot has:
- Details of what the event requires
- A safe distance from other traders
- Room for a queue that does not block paths
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.

Full catering or machine hire?
You could roast a hog yourself, but it is a long day’s work, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is generally easier.
