How our hog roast for events works in Egypt
Agricultural shows and country events near Egypt are a natural home for a hog roast, with fields, crowds and long days. On the menu are halloumi skewers, a vegan burger or sausage and hog roast rolls, and we are regularly asked to cater festivals and church and village fêtes.
At a fête or show near Egypt, we can cook in a field. Tell us about the ground and the way in. We bring plates as standard, with china available if you’d like it, at an extra cost.
Catered or do it yourself?
A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is generally easier.
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.
Egypt events: pitches and permissions
Egypt is about 7 miles north of Winchester, in Hampshire. We cover Egypt and its neighbours for events. Egypt is one of 683 places in Hampshire where we cater. We cater events right across the region, from Egypt to Southampton (about 17 miles away).
A summer fête at Ebenezer Methodist Chapel is the classic setting for a hog roast.
For events in SO21, we just need to know where the roaster can cook. Your event could be at a house on Alexandria Road and Stockbridge Road East or the roads around them, wherever there is an outdoor spot for the roaster. We also bring hog roasts to events in Sutton Scotney (1 mile south-west), Hunton (1 mile east), Stoke Charity (1 mile south-east), Barton Stacey (2 miles north-west) and South Wonston (3 miles south). We also serve nearby towns such as Basingstoke (12 miles north-east), Winchester (7 miles south), Eastleigh (13 miles south), Andover (7 miles north-west), Chandler's Ford (12 miles south) and Alton (15 miles east).
- Local pubs include Coach And Horses pub (0.5 miles south-west)

Each price is built from:
- Which meats and sides you choose

Step by step
We work to your timings. If things run late, we can hold the cooked roast for a while before carving, so tell us as soon as plans change. Summer events in Egypt have daylight until about 9:25pm at midsummer and about 7:10pm by late September, so evening trading usually finishes in daylight in high summer. For winter events, dark by about 4:00pm, the pitch needs lighting.
- 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.
Getting ready for the day
- Keep the spot clear of buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches
- Choose a level, open spot outdoors for the roaster
- Send final numbers in good time

Busy weekends book up early, so ask early for summer Saturdays and December. Send us your date for a quote: fill in our quote form.
