How it works
Carving is part of the show: the hog is carved in front of your visitors, and the crackling is shared out so everyone gets some. At midsummer, events in Waltham Forest stay light until about 9:20pm, so evening trading typically finishes in daylight in high summer. Winter fairs, dark by about 3:50pm, need a well-lit pitch.
- Share the date, site and expected crowds.
- We agree how food will be paid for.
- We arrive and set up under cover.
- Carving keeps the queue moving.
- We clear up and go.
Before we arrive
- Check there is a route to wheel the equipment in, without steps
- Make sure the cooking area is away from walls, tents and trees
- Plan somewhere sheltered for people to eat if it rains
