Slow-roasted pork in Petersfield
How it works
Rain doesn’t stop the roast, because we cook under cover. Your visitors will still want somewhere dry to eat, such as a marquee, hall or barn. Summer events in Petersfield have daylight until about 9:20pm at midsummer and about 7:05pm by late September, so evening trading typically finishes in daylight in high summer. For winter events, dark by about 4:00pm, the pitch needs lighting.
- 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 carve rolls to order as the queue moves.
- Afterwards we clear the pitch and go.
Getting ready for the day
- Tell us about narrow gates or side passages
- Have a covered area for eating in case of rain
- Check there is a route to wheel the equipment in, without steps

A closer look at the menu
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Not everyone eats meat, so halloumi and vegetable skewers ensure they’re not left with just salad.
Rotisserie chicken
Golden rotisserie chicken goes into rolls or onto plates alongside the pork.
Allergies and dietary needs
Not everyone eats pork, so it is worth adding an alternative. Helpful tips:
- Share the event’s food safety requirements with us
- Put the menu and allergen information on display
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten
- Check other traders aren’t all selling pork
We get to the pitch early, timed for the gates opening.

Full catering or machine hire?
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
You could roast a hog yourself, but it is a long day’s work, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
