Hog roast for events in Redlands, slow-roasted on site
Organisers need traders who turn up and serve well. We are self-contained and leave the pitch tidy. Whether it’s car and steam shows and charity fundraisers, we can cook rotisserie chicken, apple sauce and crackling for your visitors.
For a village fête or field event near Redlands, we can cook in a field. Ground and access matter, so tell us about them. Everything is cooked on the day, at your venue, low and slow, for hours, then carved fresh for your visitors.
The process
The roaster cooks outdoors, on a level, open spot under cover, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches. We agree exactly where before the day. In late May, sunset in Redlands is about 8:55pm, while at midsummer it’s about 9:20pm. After dark, the stall needs lighting.
- Organisers send us the event details.
- We check the pitch and paperwork and quote.
- The roast starts before the gates open.
- We serve as visitors arrive.
- We leave the pitch clean.
How to prepare
- Give us a contact number for the day
- Choose a level, open spot outdoors for the roaster
- Ensure we can wheel the roaster to the spot

Full catering or machine hire?
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
You could go for a cold buffet, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience.
Before you choose a spot
The cooking area is the main thing to plan. Check these:
- Event approval for hot-food traders
- Details of what the event requires
- Flat, firm ground for the roaster
Not sure about the cooking spot? Send us a picture and we will tell you honestly.
From the roaster

Redlands questions

Roughly 37 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
What’s the nearest station to Redlands?
The closest is Farnham station, roughly 2.9 miles away.
What should we sort out beforehand?
A clear, level cooking spot, a route to wheel the equipment in and a contact for the day. We bring everything else.

Yes, for confident cooks. Ask and we will talk you through it.
When should we book?
Popular dates go early. But it is always worth asking: fill in our quote form.

Do we need our own staff?
We carve and serve for you, and we clear up when service is finished.

A hog roast or other catering?
Next to a barbecue stall, carving is faster than grilling to order. Extras such as lamb, chicken, more sides or china crockery add to the cost, so we list each one in the quote. Keeping it simple keeps it affordable.
Why Redlands hosts choose us
- Halloumi skewers and a vegan option too
- Rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- Serving and clearing done for you
- A choice of salads and potatoes
