How the day works
People love watching the carving: the hog is carved in front of your visitors, and the crackling is shared out so everyone gets some. At midsummer, events in Speenhamland stay light until about 9:25pm, which helps evening trading. Winter fairs, dark by about 4:00pm, need a well-lit pitch.
- Organisers send us the event details.
- We confirm the pitch and send a price.
- We set up early on the pitch.
- We serve as visitors arrive.
- We pack down and take our waste.
How to prepare
- Confirm numbers ahead of the day
- Let us know about tight access

Planners, venues and businesses
Booking for a club or group? A single point of contact keeps things simple, especially on the day.
For events on land you do not own, such as a park or field, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
Should I cook it myself?
If you are confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You do the roasting and carving; we will confirm what comes with it when you ask.
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.
