Hog roast for events in Odiham, carved to order
Shows and festivals last all day, and a hog roast can serve through the day, carving as the queue grows. Whether it is club events and charity fundraisers, we can cook crackling, rotisserie chicken and hog roast rolls.
Summer fairs around Odiham are frequently run by volunteers, so a trader who brings everything is a bonus. Your quote spells out what’s included: serving times, the menu, staff and anything else agreed, with no surprises on the day.
How the day works
It’s a relaxed, well-organised set-up. We agree arrival and serving times in advance, use the cooking spot you’ve chosen, and get on with roasting and serving. In December, Odiham is dark by about 4:00pm, so the pitch needs good lighting and a clear route for the queue.
- You tell us the event, the pitch and the expected crowd.
- We check the pitch and any paperwork, then quote.
- We arrive early, set up on the pitch and start roasting.
- We serve to order through the event.
- We pack down, take our waste and leave the pitch clean.
How to prepare
- Keep the spot clear of buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches
- Have a level outdoor spot ready
- Check there’s a route to wheel the equipment in, without steps

For planners, venues and organisers
For events on land you don’t own, such as a park or field, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
If you are organising for someone else, whether you’re a planner, a PA or on a committee, tell us who our contact on the day will be. We will keep you both updated.
