About our hog roast for events in Farnham
Shows and festivals last all day, and we serve through the agreed hours. For school events and village fêtes, we will put together a menu of rotisserie chicken, crackling and halloumi skewers and more.
In Farnham, a good food stall can make an event. Roast pork rolls are a reliable draw. The hog is roasted on site at your event, low and slow, for hours, and carved only when you’re ready to eat.
The process
Serving is straightforward: our chef carves and our staff fill the rolls or plates, with the sides served alongside. When everyone has eaten, we clear up and leave the spot tidy. Late-September events in Farnham lose the light at about 7:05pm, so plan lighting if you are trading into the evening.
- It starts with your event date, site and expected numbers.
- We check access to the pitch and send a price.
- We set up early so the roast is ready when visitors arrive.
- We carve rolls to order as the queue moves.
- We pack up and leave the pitch tidy.
Preparing for the day
- Check there is a route to wheel the equipment in, without steps
- Keep the spot clear of buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches
- Choose someone to meet us on arrival

There are lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options: spit-roast lamb, rotisserie chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers or a vegan burger or sausage. We don’t offer halal meat.
Who serves?
We carve and serve for you, and we clear up when service is finished.
What’s included?
Pork, stuffing, apple sauce and crackling in a soft roll. Sides and extra meats are listed in your quote.
Is mains power needed?
Not to cook, because the roaster is gas-fired. Let us know what’s on site.
Can you be flexible on serving time?
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.
What about coeliacs?
Gluten-free rolls are available on request. Stuffing generally contains gluten, so check the allergen information.
