How our hog roast for events works in Liphook
Charity fundraisers in Liphook can use a hog roast to draw people in. Tell us about the event and we will suggest how it could work. We’re frequently asked to cater horse and dog shows and community events, serving crackling, hog roast rolls and apple sauce.
Village fêtes and summer fairs around Liphook are made for a hog roast. Send us the pitch and access details. Tell us about dietary needs and allergies when you enquire, and we’ll tell you exactly what’s in each dish before booking.
Should I cook it myself?
If you’re confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You cook and carve it yourself; we will explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you.

How it works
Rain does not stop the roast, because we cook under cover. It is worth planning a sheltered place for people to eat, too. Late-September events in Liphook lose the light at about 7:05pm, so plan lighting if you are trading into the evening.
- It starts with your event date, site and expected numbers.
- You get a check on the date and pitch, and a quote.
- We set up early so the roast is ready when visitors arrive.
- We serve to order through the event.
- We pack down, take our waste and leave the pitch clean.
Getting ready for the day
- Give us final numbers a week or so before
- Make sure the cooking area is away from walls, tents and trees
- Have a level outdoor spot ready

Looking after everyone
Most people love a hog roast, but it’s pork. Here’s how to cover everyone:
- Share the event’s food safety requirements with us
- Balance the food line-up
- Let us know if many visitors are vegetarian
- Remember stuffing typically contains gluten
We carve to order through the agreed hours.
A vegan burger or sausage covers vegan visitors.
Working with your venue
If the event is on someone else’s land, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
If you’re planning an event on someone’s behalf, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, let us know who we’ll deal with on the day. We will keep everyone in the loop.

- A safe distance from other traders
- Your trader requirements
- A level pitch
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before booking.
