Fairs, fêtes and events in Fawley
Fawley is about 3 miles south-east of Hythe, in Hampshire. We are happy to travel to Fawley for events. Fawley is one of 683 towns and villages in Hampshire where we cater. Our nearest city page is Southampton, about 7 miles away.

With the sea within about 3 miles, we plan shelter from the wind for coastal events.
For events in SO45, we just need to know where the roaster can cook and roughly how many visitors. Local streets include The Square, Whites Lane and Forge Lane; an event on any of them works well with outdoor space and a way in.

Planning for dietary needs
Not everyone eats pork, so it is worth adding an alternative. Helpful tips:
- Check other traders are not all selling pork
- Make the stall easy to find
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if you expect coeliac visitors
- Put the menu and allergen information on display
We get to the pitch early, timed for the gates opening.
Gluten-free rolls are available on request.
What comes off the roaster
Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
Our vegan option is a vegan burger or sausage, served in a roll with salads.
Stuffing and apple sauce
No hog roast roll is complete without sage and onion stuffing and apple sauce, cutting through the richness of the pork.
What happens on the day
On the day, we set up the roaster on the agreed spot, put the cover up and start the roast. It then roasts slowly for several hours, timed so it is ready when you want to eat. At midsummer, events in Fawley stay light until about 9:20pm, which helps evening trading. Winter fairs, dark by about 4:00pm, need a well-lit pitch.
- 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 set up early so the roast is ready when visitors arrive.
- We carve and serve through the agreed hours.
- We pack up and leave the pitch tidy.
Getting ready for the day
- Give us a contact number for the day
- Gather dietary requirements early
- Have a covered area for eating in case of rain
