Hog roast for events for Hambledon
Hog roast for events in Hambledon, slow-roasted on site
Shows and festivals last all day, and we serve through the agreed hours. We’re often asked to cater community events and charity fundraisers, serving a vegan burger or sausage, apple sauce and crackling.
Near Hambledon, events may be far from shops and cafés, so a hog roast is a welcome sight. Tell us about dietary needs and allergies when you enquire, and we will give you the allergen information for every dish before you book.
What comes off the roaster
Roast pork
Everything starts with the slow-roasted pork: carved thick or thin, as people like it, and served hot.
Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
A plant-based burger or sausage covers vegans, served in a roll with salads.
How it works
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, so evening trading usually finishes in daylight in high summer. For winter events, dark by about 3:55pm, the pitch needs lighting.
- 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 pack down and take our waste.
Getting ready for the day
- Collect dietary needs and allergies in advance
- Plan somewhere sheltered for people to eat if it rains
- Give us a contact number for the day

Prices and what affects them
We work out each quote from:
- Distance from us
- Menu choices and extras
- The number of people
- Plates or china
When comparing prices, compare the same things: the menu, sides, service time, staffing, crockery and travel. The cheapest quote is not always the best value.
What to tell us
To check the date and the space, we’ll need:
- What the outdoor space is like
- Roughly how many people
- Any dietary needs or allergies
- The date and when you’d like to eat
The quickest way to get a price is to send us your date, venue and numbers. A picture of where the roaster could go helps us check the space. Use our quote form.
