What happens on the day
Service is quick once we start carving: the chef carves and the team serves, and sides go out at the same time. Afterwards we clear the serving area and pack away. In late May, sunset in South Earlswood is about 8:50pm, and midsummer ones until about 9:20pm. Evening festivals need lighting by the stall after that.

- You get a check on the date and pitch, and a quote.
- We set up early so the roast is ready when visitors arrive.
- We carve rolls to order as the queue moves.

FAQs for South Earlswood
Could you cook in Earlswood Common?
Only if the landowner, usually the council, allows it. Check with them first.

What do you need from the organiser?
Just a pitch, access and any agreed paperwork. We bring the rest.
Where does the hog roast go?

How do you work out quantities?
Quantities are based on your numbers, and we’ll talk it through when we quote.
Do you serve the food?
We carve and serve for you, then clear the serving area afterwards.
Do you do DIY hog roast hire?
