Rural locations near Hollow Street can be a long way from food, so hot food at base is a big help. Everything is cooked on the day, at your venue, slowly, over several hours.

What comes off the roaster
Spit-roast lamb
Lamb on the spit roasts gently for hours, and it’s carved the same way, often with mint sauce.
Rotisserie chicken
Rotisserie chicken is a simple, popular alternative to pork, roasted until golden.
Organising for someone else?
Marquee hire companies often 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.
Booking for a club or group? A single point of contact keeps things simple, particularly when timings shift.

Hollow Street questions
What about windy coastal sites?
Yes. We roast under cover and choose a sheltered spot where we can.
Could you cook in Grove Ferry Picnic Area?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, usually the council, and many parks don’t allow cooking. Check with them first.
Is crockery included?
Plates come as standard. China crockery is available on request and quoted separately.
Do you need power or water?
Not to cook, because the roaster is gas-fired. Tell us what’s available and we will plan around it.
Can you cater our wrap?
We do. Send us the details.
Can we just hire the roaster?
Yes, we hire out the hog roast machine. We’ll explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
When should we book?
Summer Saturdays and December book up first. For other dates, a few weeks can be enough. Ask and we will check.
Can you be flexible on serving time?
We’ll be as flexible as we can. Keep us posted on the day and we will fit around changes.
How it works
Rain doesn’t stop the roast, because we cook under cover. Your crew will still want somewhere dry to eat, such as a marquee, hall or barn. At midsummer, daylight in Hollow Street lasts until about 9:15pm, so a wrap party can run into the evening.
- Send us the location, dates and lunch time.

- We serve when lunch is called.
- We pack away straight after.
Before we arrive
