How it works
We get there well ahead of service, because a whole hog takes hours to roast. The smell typically brings people over long before we carve. At midsummer, events in South Hayling stay light until about 9:20pm, which helps evening trading. Winter fairs, dark by about 4:00pm, need a well-lit pitch.
- It starts with your event date, site and expected numbers.
- You get a check on the date and pitch, and a quote.
- On the day we set up under cover and get the hog on.
- We carve and serve through the agreed hours.
- We pack up and leave the pitch tidy.
Getting ready for the day
- Tell us about narrow gates or side passages
- Have a covered area for eating in case of rain
- Pick a flat, open area outside for cooking

Full catering or machine hire?
You could roast a hog yourself, but it’s a long day’s work, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.
Where the roaster can go in South Hayling
Most gardens, car parks, yards and fields work if a few things are right. Here’s what we look for:
- Event approval for hot-food traders
- A queuing area
- A level pitch with firm ground
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before you book.
