Step by step
Here’s how the day normally runs: the roaster goes up and the hog goes on, the roast cooks gently through the day, and we carve and serve at the agreed time. Summer events in Three Oaks 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.
- You tell us the event, the pitch and the expected crowd.
- 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.

- A safe distance from other traders
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before you book.
