Hog roast for events in Carisbrooke, slow-roasted on site
For a school fair, you want food families will queue for. Pork rolls, chicken and a vegan option cover most visitors. Whether it’s food and music festivals and summer fêtes, we’ll put together a menu of rotisserie chicken, a vegan burger or sausage and halloumi skewers and more.
Summer fairs around Carisbrooke are often run by volunteers, so a trader who brings everything is a bonus. We bring plates as standard, with china available if you’d like it, at an extra cost.

Looking after everyone
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. Here are a few tips:
- Stuffing normally contains gluten
- Share the event’s food safety requirements with us
- Balance the food line-up
- Put the menu and allergen information on display
We get to the pitch early, timed for the gates opening.
Add rotisserie chicken for visitors who don’t eat pork.

Space, access and the venue
The roaster needs the right spot, because it cooks outside for several hours, and a little planning goes a long way:
- A safe distance from other traders
- Space for people to queue
- Any paperwork the organisers need
Carisbrooke is a more remote spot, so tell us early and we will plan the journey.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise.

For event organisers in Carisbrooke
Marquee hire companies often have rules about cooking near their tents, so let them know about the roaster. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.
Booking for a club or group? A single point of contact keeps things simple, particularly when timings shift.
Full catering or machine hire?
A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is normally easier.
You could go for a cold buffet, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience.

What we serve, dish by dish
Rotisserie chicken
For visitors who don’t eat pork, rotisserie chicken is the easy answer, and children normally like it too.
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Halloumi and vegetable skewers are the vegetarian choice: squeaky, salty cheese with colourful veg.
How it works
Rain doesn’t stop the roast, because we cook under cover. It’s worth planning a sheltered place for people to eat, too. For an autumn event in Carisbrooke, sunset is around 7:10pm in late September, so plan lighting if you are trading into the evening.
- Share the date, site and expected crowds.
- We agree how food will be paid for.
- We roast on the pitch.
- Carving keeps the queue moving.
- We clear up and go.
Preparing for the day
- Keep the spot clear of buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches
- Tell us about narrow gates or side passages
- Choose a level, open spot outdoors for the roaster

Carisbrooke questions
Can you do a hog roast in Seaclose Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, normally the council, and many parks don’t allow cooking. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
What about windy coastal sites?
Yes, of course. Wind is something we plan for: a sheltered spot and secure cover.
What comes with the hog roast?
The classic: pork in rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. Your quote lists any sides and extras.
How long does the roast need?
Hours rather than minutes. You’ll know our arrival time in advance.
What if things run late?
We work back from when you want to eat, and a cooked roast can be held for a while if things run late.
Can we just hire the roaster?
Yes, for confident cooks. Ask and we will talk you through it.
Can a hog roast raise money?
Get in touch and we’ll see what’s possible.
What about visitors who do not eat pork?
We can add lamb or chicken, plus halloumi skewers for vegetarians and a vegan burger or sausage. Halal meat isn’t something we offer.
