Hog roast for events for Hambledon
The menu, dish by dish
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Halloumi and vegetable skewers are the vegetarian choice: squeaky, salty cheese with colourful veg, in a roll or on a plate.
Stuffing and apple sauce
Stuffing and a dollop of apple sauce turn a pork roll into a hog roast roll.
Hog roast for events in Hambledon, carved to order
Festivals and shows run for hours, and we serve through the agreed hours, carving as the queue grows. Whether it is country shows and school fairs and sports days, we’ll put together a menu of halloumi skewers, hog roast rolls and crackling for your visitors.
At a field event near Hambledon, power and water may be limited; the roaster runs on gas, so that is fine. We bring the roaster, the cover and everything we need to cook and serve, and we pack away and leave the area as we found it.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. A few tips:
- Put the menu and allergen information on display
- Share the event’s food safety requirements with us
- Remember stuffing typically contains gluten
- Check other traders are not all selling pork
If the ground is soft, we will need a firm route on and off, particularly in wet weather.
Add rotisserie chicken for visitors who don’t eat pork.
Catered or do it yourself?
We also hire out the hog roast machine for confident cooks. You cook and carve it yourself; we’ll explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.

Working with your venue
Booking for a club or group? One clear contact makes everything easier, particularly when timings shift.
For events on land you do not own, such as a park or field, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
What happens on the day
Carving is part of the show: the hog is carved in front of your visitors, with crackling for everyone who wants it. At midsummer, events in Hambledon stay light until about 9:20pm, which helps evening trading. Winter fairs, dark by about 4:00pm, need a well-lit pitch.
- Start with the date and numbers.
- We discuss the package or stall options.
- We arrive and set up under cover.
- Carving keeps the queue moving.
- We clear up and go.
Preparing for the day
- Think about shelter for your visitors
- Tell us about narrow gates or side passages
- Check there’s nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat
