About our hog roast for events in Kempshott
Village fêtes around Kempshott suit a hog roast: the smell draws people over, and a roll is easy to eat on the move. Whether it’s summer fêtes and horse and dog shows, we can cook apple sauce, hog roast rolls and crackling and more.
Events near Kempshott are frequently volunteer-run, so a trader who brings everything is a bonus. Everything is cooked on the day, at your venue, low and slow, for hours.
How it works
Service is quick once we start carving: the chef carves and the team serves, with the sides served alongside. When everyone has eaten, we clear up and leave the spot tidy. In late May, sunset in Kempshott is about 8:55pm, and midsummer ones until about 9:25pm. Evening festivals need lighting by the stall after that.
- Organisers send us the date, site, numbers and how food will be paid for.
- We check access to the pitch and send a price.
- We set up early so the roast is ready when visitors arrive.
- We carve and serve through the agreed hours.
- We pack up and leave the pitch tidy.
Preparing for the day
- Choose a level, open spot outdoors for the roaster
- Have a covered area for eating in case of rain
- Check there is a route to wheel the equipment in, without steps

DIY versus a catered hog roast
Full catering or machine hire? With catering, our chef roasts, carves and serves, and our staff clear up. With DIY hire, you do the work and save on staffing.
You could go for a cold buffet, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience, especially outdoors.
Organising for someone else?
Venues often have rules for outside caterers, from approved lists to where a gas roaster can go. Check early, and pass on anything they need from us.
If you are planning an event on someone’s behalf, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, tell us who our contact on the day will be. We will keep everyone in the loop.
