Hog roast for events in Lumley, carved to order
Every event handles food differently: a catered package paid by the organiser, or a stall selling to visitors. Let us know what you have in mind. Whether it is car shows and rallies and small festivals, we can cook hog roast rolls, a vegan burger or sausage and rotisserie chicken and more.
A fête near Lumley might be on a field with no mains power; the roaster runs on gas, so that’s fine. Tell us about dietary needs and allergies when you enquire, and we’ll tell you exactly what’s in each dish.

What else we do in Lumley
The process
The roaster cooks outdoors, on a level, open spot under cover, well clear of walls, tents and trees. We agree exactly where before the day. Late-September events in Lumley lose the light at about 7:05pm, so evening trading needs lights.
- It starts with your event date, site and expected numbers.
- We check the pitch and any paperwork, then quote.
- We arrive early, set up on the pitch and start roasting.
- We serve to order through the event.
- We pack down, take our waste and leave the pitch clean.
How to prepare
- Check there’s nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat
- Give us a contact number for the day
- Send final numbers in good time

Allergies and dietary needs
Some visitors won’t eat pork, so it is worth adding an alternative. Helpful tips:
- Halal isn’t offered
- Stuffing normally contains gluten
- Show allergens at the stall
- Share the event’s food safety requirements with us
At the end, we pack down and take our waste.
Add coleslaw.

A hog roast compared with other options
One hog roast and a couple of other stalls makes a good food line-up. For larger numbers, a hog roast is generally good value, because one whole roast feeds plenty of people. Extras, china and longer service add to it.

Full catering or machine hire?
You could roast a hog yourself, but it’s a long day’s work, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is generally easier.
