What comes off the roaster
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Coleslaw is the natural partner for a pork roll, while salads and potatoes make a plated meal.
Spit-roast lamb
With lamb as well, there are two roasts to choose from, which suits bigger events.
What happens on the day
Slow roasting is the whole point: the meat cooks gently until it’s tender while the skin crisps into crackling. It rests for a short while before carving. Daytime open days in Locksgreen are rarely affected by light, though in winter it is dark by about 4:00pm.

Catered or do it yourself?
Full catering or machine hire? With catering, our chef roasts, carves and serves, and our staff clear up. With DIY hire, you do the work and save on staffing.
You could go for a cold buffet, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience, especially outdoors.

Planners, venues and businesses
Some venues add a fee for outside caterers, so check before you book. We will liaise with them on access and set-up.
Marquee suppliers normally set distances for cooking equipment, so tell them a hog roast is coming. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.
Before you choose a spot
A hog roast cooks outdoors for hours, so the spot matters, and a little planning goes a long way:
- Your site’s agreement to a gas-fired roaster
- Vehicle access close to the cooking area
- Somewhere for staff to eat if it rains
For somewhere as remote as Locksgreen, early notice helps us plan the trip.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before booking.

Questions from Locksgreen
Is Locksgreen too small for a hog roast?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
What about windy coastal sites?
Yes, of course. Wind is something we plan for: a sheltered spot and secure cover.
Can you work around our timings?
We work back from when you want to eat, and we can hold the roast for a while if the day runs behind.
How do we prepare?
Only the space and a contact number. Everything for roasting and serving comes with us.
Who serves?
You don’t need anyone else: our chef carves and our team serves and clears.
Do we need to provide electricity?
Not to cook, because the roaster is gas-fired. Tell us what’s available and we will plan around it.
What about staff who do not eat pork?
The menu has lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options. Halal meat isn’t something we offer.
How much will it be?
It depends on numbers, the menu and how long we’re on site. Tell us your date and we’ll send a price.
A hog roast compared with other options
Compared with a barbecue run by staff, nobody from the team is stuck cooking. Weekday and off-season dates can be easier to book, and the menu you choose matters too. Tell us your budget and we’ll suggest what works.
