A closer look at the menu
Stuffing and apple sauce
Sage and onion stuffing and apple sauce are the classic partners, balancing the rich, salty pork.
Roast pork
Our chef carves the pork as it’s needed, which keeps it hot and moist right to the last roll.
Space, access and the venue
The roaster needs the right spot, because it cooks outside for several hours, so a few things are worth checking:
- A firm way on and off the field
- Your trader requirements
- Permission for cooking on the site
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before you book.

FAQs for Denmead
Do you trade at school fairs around Denmead?
Yes, with the school’s permission. Send us the date and where the roaster would go.
Which station is closest to Denmead?
Cosham station, about 4.1 miles south of the centre.
What if things run late?
Because the roast takes hours, we plan from your serving time, and a cooked roast can be held for a while if things run late.
Is mains power needed?
Cooking is gas-fired, so no mains power is needed for the roast. A socket nearby is useful for lighting.
Do you bring plates?
We supply plates as standard. You can upgrade to china if you prefer.
Can we hire the machine and cook it ourselves?
Yes, for confident cooks. Ask and we’ll talk you through it.
Do you come to Denmead?
We do. Tell us the venue or postcode and we will confirm availability.
What’s the price?
Each event is priced on its own, based on numbers, menu, service time and distance. Tell us about your event for a quote.
DIY versus a catered hog roast
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.
If you are confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You cook and carve it yourself; we will explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.

Organising for someone else?
If you’re booking for a workplace, ask your facilities team about outside caterers and gas cooking. We will fit in with site rules.
If the event is on someone else’s land, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
Step by step
A hog roast is always cooked outside, on a level, open spot under cover, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches. We agree exactly where before the day. At midsummer, events in Denmead stay light until about 9:20pm, so evening trading normally finishes in daylight in high summer. Winter fairs, dark by about 4:00pm, need a well-lit pitch.
- Organisers send us the event details.
- We confirm the pitch and send a price.
- We set up early on the pitch.
- We serve as visitors arrive.
- We pack down and take our waste.
Before we arrive
- Give us final numbers a week or so before
- Check there’s nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat
- Gather dietary requirements early
