A closer look at the menu
Stuffing and apple sauce
Stuffing and a dollop of apple sauce turn a pork roll into a hog roast roll.
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
A hog roast roll is designed to be eaten in the hand. Gluten-free rolls can be provided on request.
Allergies and dietary needs
Tell us about dietary needs early and we’ll help. Some ideas:
- Halal isn’t offered
- Share the event’s food safety requirements with us
- Make the stall easy to find
- Tell us if there’s a vegetarian or vegan focus
We clear the pitch and take everything away.
Ask about gluten-free rolls.
Should I cook it myself?
Full catering or machine hire? Catered means we do everything: roasting, carving, serving and clearing. With DIY hire, you do the work and save on staffing.
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you, especially outdoors.
What else we do in Fernham
What the cooking area needs
The roaster needs space, cover and a safe distance from anything that could catch the heat. Things to check:
- Permission for cooking on the site
- Room for a queue that doesn’t block paths
- Clearance from other stalls and tents
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise.

The process
We cook on a gas-fired roaster, so we do not need mains power to cook. At midsummer, events in Fernham stay light until about 9:30pm, which helps evening trading. Winter fairs, dark by about 4:00pm, need a well-lit pitch.
- Organisers send us the event details.
- We check the pitch and paperwork and quote.
- The roast starts before the gates open.
- We carve to order through the day.
- We leave the pitch clean.
Getting ready for the day
- Collect dietary needs and allergies in advance
- Check there is a route to wheel the equipment in, without steps
- Confirm numbers ahead of the day

Fernham questions
Do you come out to small places like Fernham?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Is Fernham close to London?
Roughly 64 miles from the centre of London.
When do you start roasting?
It depends on the size of the hog and the weather, but it’s several hours. We will confirm our arrival time when we quote.
Can you roast in the rain?
The roaster is under cover, so a shower doesn’t stop us. Plan somewhere sheltered for eating.
Will there be enough to go round?
We plan quantities from the numbers you give us, and we’ll talk it through when we quote.
What space does the roaster need?
A flat, open spot outside, and a way to wheel everything in. A picture helps.
Do you do DIY hog roast hire?
DIY machine hire is available. We’ll confirm what comes with it and how to use it.
What should we sort out beforehand?
A clear, level cooking spot, a route to wheel the equipment in and a contact for the day. We’ll bring the rest.
