Hog roast for events in Haslemere, carved to order
At a fête, fair or festival in Haslemere, a hog roast stall draws a crowd. We roast on the pitch through the day and carve rolls to order, keeping the queue moving. On the menu are hog roast rolls, rotisserie chicken and a vegan burger or sausage, and we are regularly asked to cater country shows and PTA summer fairs.
Summer fairs around Haslemere are often run by volunteers, so a trader who brings everything is a bonus. We bring plates as standard, and china crockery is available on request, quoted separately.
What happens on the day
A hog roast is always cooked outside, on a level, open spot under cover, well clear of walls, tents and trees. We’ll agree the spot with you beforehand. Summer events in Haslemere have daylight until about 9:20pm at midsummer and about 7:05pm by late September, 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 serve as visitors arrive.
- We leave the pitch clean.

Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
A hog roast alongside cakes and teas makes a good food line-up. The main driver is numbers: bigger groups typically cost less per head, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.
Why us?
- A clear quote with everything listed
- Cooked on the day, low and slow
- Halloumi skewers and a vegan option too
- Our staff serve and clear
Read our prices page or the cost guide.
Allergies and dietary needs
Standard rolls and stuffing contain gluten, so ask for gluten-free rolls if you need them. Other tips:
- Stuffing normally contains gluten
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if you expect coeliac visitors
- Let us know if many visitors are vegetarian
- Show allergens at the stall
If the ground is soft, we’ll need a firm route on and off, particularly in wet weather.
Ask about gluten-free rolls.
