About our hog roast for events in Lordington
A hog roast is one of the most popular stalls at events in Lordington. We roast on the pitch through the day and carve rolls to order, keeping the queue moving. On the menu are rotisserie chicken, halloumi skewers and crackling, and typical bookings are for club events and small festivals.
Near Lordington, events may be far from shops and cafés, so a hog roast is a welcome sight. The hog is roasted on site at your event, low and slow, for hours, then carved fresh for your visitors.

How the day works
We cook on a gas-fired roaster, so cooking doesn’t depend on mains power; a nearby socket helps with lights if service runs into the evening. At midsummer, events in Lordington stay light until about 9:20pm, which helps evening trading. Winter fairs, dark by about 4:00pm, need a well-lit pitch.
- Organisers send us the event details.
- We confirm the pitch and send a price.
- We set up early on the pitch.
- We serve as visitors arrive.
- We pack down and take our waste.
How to prepare
- Give us final numbers a week or so before
- Pick a flat, open area outside for cooking
- Check there is nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat

DIY versus a catered hog roast
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you, especially outdoors.
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.
Planning the cooking spot
A hog roast cooks outdoors for hours, so the spot matters, so a few things are worth checking:
- Permission for cooking on the site
- Your trader requirements
- Clearance from other stalls and tents
Not sure about the cooking spot? Send us a picture and we will tell you honestly.

For event organisers in Lordington

Many venues set rules for outside caterers, from approved lists to where a gas roaster can go. Check early, and tell us what they ask for.
