Hog roast for events in Fareham Common, slow-roasted on site
A hog roast is one of the most popular stalls at events in Fareham Common. We cook on site and carve to order, keeping the queue moving. We are frequently asked to cater club events and PTA summer fairs, serving halloumi skewers, hog roast rolls and a vegan burger or sausage.
For events in a place like Fareham Common, one hot-food trader most people like makes life easy. Roast pork rolls do exactly that. The carving happens right in front of your visitors, so every roll gets hot pork and a piece of crackling, and nothing sits in a hot cabinet.

DIY versus a catered hog roast
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.
A hog roast compared with other options
Compared with a volunteer-run kitchen, a professional hog roast frees up your helpers. Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. Slow roasting means we’re on site for much of the day, which is built into the price.

Can you come to a school fair in Fareham Common?
Yes, if the school is happy for a hog roast on site. Tell us the date and pitch details.

Yes, of course. We roast under cover and choose a sheltered spot where we can.

Not to cook, because the roaster is gas-fired. Tell us what’s available and we’ll plan around it.
