How the day works
People love watching the carving: our chef carves the pork in front of the queue, and the crackling is shared out so everyone gets some. Summer events in Sandhurst Cross have daylight until about 9:15pm at midsummer and about 7:00pm by late September, which helps evening trading. Winter fairs, dark by about 3:55pm, need a well-lit pitch.
- Tell us about the event.
- We confirm the pitch and send a price.
- The roast starts before the gates open.
- We serve as visitors arrive.
- We leave the pitch clean.
Getting ready for the day
- Think about shelter for your visitors
- Have a level outdoor spot ready
- Measure the narrowest gate or passage

For event organisers in Sandhurst Cross

What we serve, dish by dish
Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
Let us know numbers for the vegan option, and we will bring enough vegan burgers or sausages.
Rotisserie chicken
Chicken from the rotisserie gives people a non-pork choice, roasted until golden.
Allergies and dietary needs
Not everyone eats pork, so plan an alternative. Helpful tips:
- Halal isn’t offered
- Signpost the stall clearly
- Balance the food line-up
- Gluten-free rolls can be brought on request
If the ground is soft, we will need a firm route on and off, particularly in wet weather.
The vegan option is popular at festivals.
