Hog roast for events in Stubbington
Catered or do it yourself?
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.
Hog roast for events in Stubbington, carved to order
At a fête, fair or festival in Stubbington, a hog roast stall draws a crowd. We cook on site and carve to order, keeping the queue moving. Typical bookings include school events and church and village fêtes, with a vegan burger or sausage, hog roast rolls and crackling.
Around Stubbington, a fête or summer fair suits a hog roast. Send us the pitch and access details. We bring the roaster, the cover and everything we need to cook and serve, and we leave the spot tidy when we go.
What a hog roast costs
The biggest factors are:
- Time on site
- Numbers
- Travel to Stubbington
- Season and day of the week
What you pay covers the meat, the chef and staff, and hours of roasting. A long, slow roast means an early start, which is built into the price.
Details that help
Here’s what we will ask:
- Anything the venue has asked for
- An estimate of numbers
- The address or postcode
- Any dietary needs or allergies
We need a few details to quote: your date, your venue or postcode, how many people and any menu choices. Send us your details through our quote form.
Planning for dietary needs
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. Here are a few tips:
- Show allergens at the stall
- Let us know if many visitors are vegetarian
- Halal isn’t offered
- Remember stuffing generally contains gluten
We arrive early, set up on the pitch and start roasting, timed for the gates opening.
Add rotisserie chicken for visitors who don’t eat pork.

Planners, venues and businesses
Organisers may ask for documents such as a risk assessment or gas safety information. Tell us what you need and we’ll tell you what we can send.
Marquee suppliers usually set distances for cooking equipment, so tell them a hog roast is coming. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.
Where the roaster can go in Stubbington
A hog roast cooks outdoors for hours, so the spot matters, so a few things are worth checking:
- Room for a queue that does not block paths
- A vehicle route onto the pitch

Stubbington: your questions answered
Can you roast near the sea around Stubbington?
Yes, of course. Wind is something we plan for: a sheltered spot and secure cover.
Can you come to a school fair in Stubbington?
Yes, if the school is happy for a hog roast on site. Send us the date and where the roaster would go.
What comes with the hog roast?
Roast pork carved into soft rolls with sage and onion stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. You can add lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options, salads, coleslaw and potatoes.
Is mains power needed?

We are happy to talk it through and we’ll see what’s possible.
When should we book?
Summer Saturdays and December book up first. For other dates, a few weeks can be enough. Send your date and we’ll check.
