School fairs, fêtes and summer events in Hedge End suit a hog roast: it draws a crowd and serves hot food quickly. Timings are planned around your event, because the roast has to start hours before you eat, so the food is ready at the right moment.
Looking after everyone
Rolls and stuffing generally contain gluten, so ask for gluten-free rolls if you need them. A few more tips:
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten
- Show allergens at the stall
- Tell us what the event asks of traders
- Tell us if there is a vegetarian or vegan focus
Name an organiser to meet us, especially for big events.
Add rotisserie chicken for visitors who don’t eat pork.
Space, access and the venue
Most gardens, car parks, yards and fields work if a few things are right. Here’s what helps:
- Space away from marquees, stalls and trees
- A firm way on and off the field
- Your trader requirements
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before you book.

Catered or do it yourself?
We also hire out the hog roast machine for confident cooks. You cook and carve it yourself; we’ll confirm what comes with it when you ask.
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
The menu, dish by dish
Crackling
Long, slow roasting turns the skin into crackling, and we break it up so everyone gets a piece.
Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
Let us know numbers for the vegan option, and we will bring enough vegan burgers or sausages.
