Hog roast for events near Sholing
Festivals and shows run for hours, and a hog roast can serve through the day. For small festivals and PTA summer fairs, we can cook apple sauce, rotisserie chicken and hog roast rolls for your visitors.
In Sholing, one popular trader keeps it simple. Roast pork rolls do exactly that. The carving happens right in front of your visitors, so every roll gets hot pork and a piece of crackling.

For planners, venues and organisers
Marquee hire companies frequently have rules about cooking near their tents, so tell them a hog roast is coming. We’ll keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.
For events on land you do not own, such as a park or field, you will need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
About the food
Rotisserie chicken
Chicken off the rotisserie, carved or jointed goes into rolls or onto plates.
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Some visitors will be vegetarian, so halloumi and vegetable skewers make sure they’re not left with just salad.
Common questions in Sholing
How far is Sholing from London?
Roughly 68 miles from the centre of London.
Can you do a hog roast at a venue in the New Forest National Park?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for caterers; ask your venue. We’ll work to whatever the site needs.
What if it rains?
Rain doesn’t stop the cooking. Somewhere covered for people to eat helps.
Can you come to our fête?
We do. Send us the details.
What should we sort out beforehand?
The agreed cooking area, access for our equipment and someone to meet us. We will bring the rest.
How big a hog will we need?
We size the roast to your numbers, so a good estimate matters. The quote sets it out.
Is mains power needed?
Not to cook, because the roaster is gas-fired. Let us know what’s on site.
Do you bring plates?
Plates come as standard. China crockery is available on request and quoted separately.
Where the roaster can go in Sholing
Before the day, it helps to think about where the roaster will go. We look for:
- A safe distance from other traders
- Room for a queue that does not block paths
- A firm way on and off the field
Not sure about the cooking spot? Send us a photo and we will tell you honestly before booking.

Planning for dietary needs
We give full allergen information for every dish. To make the most of it:
- Gluten-free rolls can be brought on request
- Make the stall easy to find
- Tell us if there’s a vegetarian or vegan focus
- Stuffing normally contains gluten
Name an organiser to meet us, especially for big events.
Coleslaw goes well with pork rolls.
Catered or do it yourself?
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.
Catered or DIY? Catered means we do everything: roasting, carving, serving and clearing. With hire only, you do the cooking yourself.
Step by step
The roaster cooks outdoors, on a level, open spot under cover, well clear of walls, tents and trees. We agree exactly where before the day. Late-September events in Sholing lose the light at about 7:10pm, so evening trading needs lights.
- Organisers send us the event details.
- We check the pitch and paperwork and quote.
- We set up early on the pitch.
- We serve as visitors arrive.
- We leave the pitch clean.
How to prepare
- Name a contact for the day
- Check there’s a route to wheel the equipment in, without steps
- Let us know about tight access
