Before you choose a spot
The roaster needs the right spot, because it cooks outside for several hours, so a few things are worth checking:
- A hall or room for eating
- A contact for the day who isn’t immediate family
- Vehicle access near the cooking area
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before you book.

About the food
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Not everyone eats meat, and halloumi skewers give them a proper hot option.
Stuffing and apple sauce
Stuffing and a dollop of apple sauce turn a pork roll into a hog roast roll.
Working with your venue
For events on land you don’t own, such as a park or field, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
Organisers may ask for documents such as a risk assessment or gas safety information. Tell us what you need and we’ll confirm what we can provide.
Why choose a hog roast in Lewson Street?
If the venue has its own caterer, ask whether outside caterers are allowed. Cost depends on numbers, menu choices and service time, plus travel and access. There is no one-size price, so we quote each one individually.

Step by step
On the day, we set up the roaster on the agreed spot, put the cover up and start the roast. It then roasts slowly for several hours, timed so it’s ready when you want to eat. In late September, sunset in Lewson Street is about 7:00pm; in December, about 3:50pm, so a later wake may need lighting outside.
- Get in touch when the date is set.
- We check the cooking spot with the venue.
- We set up and roast on the day.
- Our staff serve without fuss.
- We leave the venue tidy.
How to prepare
