Hog roast for events for Tinkers Cross
The process
When we arrive, we set up the roaster on the agreed spot, put the cover up and start the roast. From there it cooks low and slow for hours, worked back from your serving time. Summer events in Tinkers Cross have daylight until about 9:25pm at midsummer and about 7:10pm by late September, so evening trading normally finishes in daylight in high summer. Winter fairs, dark by about 4:05pm, need a well-lit pitch.
- Tell us about the event.
- We check the pitch and paperwork and quote.
- We set up early on the pitch.
- We carve to order through the day.
- We leave the pitch clean.
Getting ready for the day
- Name a contact for the day
- Measure the narrowest gate or passage
- Check there’s a route to wheel the equipment in, without steps

Next to a barbecue stall, carving is faster than grilling to order. The main driver is numbers: bigger groups usually cost less per head, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.
