Hog roast for events near Lockerley
Shows and festivals last all day, and a hog roast can serve through the day. Typical bookings include horse and dog shows and tournaments and sports days, serving hog roast rolls, rotisserie chicken and halloumi skewers.
Near Lockerley, events may be far from shops and cafés, so a hog roast goes down well. The carving happens right in front of your visitors, so the pork is hot and the crackling is crisp, and nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
Before you choose a spot
Most outdoor spaces can work with a little planning. Here’s what helps:
- Room for a queue that doesn’t block paths
- Permission for cooking on the site
- A firm way on and off the field
Not sure about the cooking spot? Send us a photo and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
What we serve
- Stuffing and apple sauce
- Rotisserie chicken
- Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
- Hog roast rolls
- Coleslaw
- Halloumi skewers (V)
- Crackling
Full catering or machine hire?
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.
You could go for a cold buffet, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you.

Organising for someone else?
Booking for a club or group? One clear contact makes everything easier, particularly when timings shift.
Marquee hire companies frequently have rules about cooking near their tents, so let them know about the roaster. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.
Planning for dietary needs
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. A few tips:
- Show allergens at the stall
- Stuffing normally contains gluten
- Share the event’s food safety requirements with us
- Halal isn’t offered
We get to the pitch early, timed for the gates opening.
Tell us about any theme, such as a vintage fête.

What happens on the day
Slow roasting is the whole point: hours of gentle heat make the pork soft and juicy while the skin turns into crackling. Then it rests briefly before our chef carves. In December, Lockerley is dark by about 4:00pm, so the pitch needs good lighting and a clear route for the queue.
- You tell us the event, the pitch and the expected crowd.
- You get a check on the date and pitch, and a quote.
- We set up early so the roast is ready when visitors arrive.
- We carve rolls to order as the queue moves.
- We pack down, take our waste and leave the pitch clean.
Before we arrive
- Choose a level, open spot outdoors for the roaster
- Let us know about tight access
- Check there’s nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat
