What happens on the day
The secret is time: the meat cooks gently until it is tender while the skin crisps into crackling. Then it rests briefly before our chef carves. In December, Whitehall is dark by about 3:55pm, so the pitch needs good lighting and a clear route for the queue.
- Organisers send us the date, site, numbers and how food will be paid for.
- We check access to the pitch and send a price.
- We arrive early, set up on the pitch and start roasting.
- We serve to order through the event.
- Afterwards we clear the pitch and go.
How to prepare
- Gather dietary requirements early
- Check there is nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat
- Think about shelter for your visitors

- Check other traders are not all selling pork
- Halal isn’t offered
- Tell us what the event asks of traders
