What comes off the roaster
Roast pork
We carve as we serve, which keeps it hot and moist right to the last roll.
Spit-roast lamb
With lamb as well, there are two roasts to choose from, which suits bigger events.
The process
Carving is part of the show: our chef carves the pork in front of the queue, with crackling for everyone who wants it. Summer shoots near Stroude have light until about 9:20pm, so a wrap party can run into the evening.

- We check access to base and quote.
- We agree where we set up and when we arrive.
- When lunch is called, we carve and serve quickly.
- Afterwards we clear our spot at base.

Before you choose a spot
A hog roast cooks outdoors for hours, so the spot matters, and a little planning goes a long way:
- Somewhere for crew to eat if it rains
- A safe distance from kit
- Flat ground at the unit base
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before you book.
