About our hog roast for events in Fishbourne
Shows and festivals last all day, and we serve through the agreed hours, carving as the queue grows. We serve halloumi skewers, apple sauce and crackling, and we’re regularly asked to cater summer fêtes and horse and dog shows.
Summer fairs around Fishbourne are frequently run by volunteers, so a trader who brings everything is a bonus. Plates come as standard, and china crockery is available on request, quoted separately.

Working with your venue
If you’re planning an event on someone’s behalf, whether you are a planner, a PA or on a committee, tell us who our contact on the day will be. We will keep you both updated.
For events on land you do not own, such as a park or field, you will need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.

What happens after service?
We pack everything away after service, and we take our equipment with us.

Do you do fêtes?
A hog roast suits a fête perfectly. Get in touch.

Is it pay as you go?
It depends on how your event works. Tell us what you have in mind and we will discuss the options.
DIY versus a catered hog roast
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.
You could go for a cold buffet, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience.
Step by step
The roaster cooks outdoors, on a level, open spot under cover, well clear of walls, tents and trees. We’ll agree the spot with you beforehand. Late-September events in Fishbourne lose the light at about 7:05pm, so plan lighting if you are trading into the evening.
- You tell us the event, the pitch and the expected crowd.
- 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 down, take our waste and leave the pitch clean.
How to prepare
- Send final numbers in good time
- Have a level outdoor spot ready
- Let us know about tight access
