Fairs, fêtes and events in Greatham
Greatham is about 5 miles north-east of Petersfield, in Hampshire. We cater events of every size in Greatham. Greatham is one of 683 towns and villages in Hampshire we cover. We cater events right across the region, from Greatham to Guildford (about 18 miles away).
School fairs, for a school like Greatham Primary School, are a natural fit for a hog roast. Church fêtes, at churches such as Church of St John the Baptist, are a natural home for a hog roast. Within about 6 miles is the South Downs National Park, where events may have extra rules on cooking and waste; we work to the site rules.
Anywhere in GU33, we can roast on site for your visitors. Whether your event is on Longmoor Road, Wolfmere Lane and Todmore or a nearby road, we can set up and roast there.

How our hog roast for events works in Greatham
For organisers, one reliable hot-food trader makes life easier. We’re self-contained and leave the pitch tidy. Typical bookings include summer fêtes and fundraising events, with rotisserie chicken, halloumi skewers and apple sauce.
Near Greatham, events may be far from shops and cafés, so a hog roast is a welcome sight. We bring the people to serve and clear up, so you’re not left handing out rolls.
Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
At large shows, ask us about the expected crowds early, so we can plan. Extras such as lamb, chicken, more sides or china crockery add to the cost, so we list each one in the quote. Keeping it simple keeps it affordable.
Why us?
- Slow-roasted at your venue, not reheated
- An itemised quote
- Carved by our chef in front of your visitors
- The classics: stuffing, apple sauce and crackling

DIY versus a catered hog roast
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience, especially outdoors.
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.

What else we do in Greatham
What we serve, dish by dish
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
Everything goes into a soft roll, easy to eat standing up. Gluten-free rolls are available on request.
Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
Our vegan option is a vegan burger or sausage, served in a roll with salads.
The process
We roast under cover, so a shower will not spoil the food. Your visitors will still want somewhere dry to eat, such as a marquee, hall or barn. In December, Greatham is dark by about 4:00pm, so plan lights for the stall and the queue.
- Tell us about the event.
- We check the pitch and paperwork and quote.
- The roast starts before the gates open.
- We carve to order through the day.
- We pack down and take our waste.
Before we arrive
- Keep the spot clear of buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches
- Plan somewhere sheltered for people to eat if it rains
- Pick a flat, open area outside for cooking

- Flat, firm ground for the roaster
- Space for people to queue
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.
