A hog roast near Bedhampton
Looking after everyone
Not everyone eats pork, so it is worth adding an alternative. A few pointers:
- Gluten-free rolls can be brought on request
- Share the event’s food safety requirements with us
- Let us know if many visitors are vegetarian
- Remember stuffing generally contains gluten
If the ground is soft, we’ll need a firm route on and off, especially after rain.
Ask about gluten-free rolls.

Can you come to our fête?

About the food
Roast pork
Everything starts with the slow-roasted pork: carved in front of you, a mix of shoulder and leg, and served hot.
Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
A plant-based burger or sausage covers vegans, served in a roll with salads.
Should I cook it myself?
You could go for a cold buffet, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you.
You could roast a hog yourself, but it’s a long day’s work, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
What happens on the day
People love watching the carving: the hog is carved in front of your visitors, and the crackling is shared out so everyone gets some. For an autumn event in Bedhampton, sunset is around 7:05pm in late September, so evening trading needs lights.
- Organisers send us the date, site, numbers and how food will be paid for.
- You get a check on the date and pitch, and a quote.
- On the day we set up under cover and get the hog on.
- We carve and serve through the agreed hours.
- We pack down, take our waste and leave the pitch clean.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about narrow gates or side passages
- Check there is nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat
- Give us final numbers a week or so before
