Slow-roasted pork in Cop Street
What happens on the day
Slow roasting is the whole point: the meat cooks gently until it’s tender while the skin turns into crackling. Then it rests briefly before our chef carves. Because the roast takes hours, daylight is worth planning: in Cop Street, sunset is around 8:45pm in late May and 9:15pm in late June, while in December the light goes at about 3:50pm, so winter bookings need lighting from mid-afternoon.
- You tell us the date, the address, rough numbers and when you’d like to eat.
- You get a check on the date and the spot, and a quote.
- On the day, we set up on the agreed spot and start roasting.
- We carve and serve when you are ready to eat.
- We clear the serving area and pack away.
Before we arrive
- Make sure we can wheel the roaster to the spot
- Have a covered area for eating in case of rain
- Check there is nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat

Hog roast hire for your event in Cop Street
Our hog roast hire is fully catered: roasting, carving and serving are all done for you. For confident cooks, the machine can be hired on its own. Whether it is milestone birthdays and club events and presentations, we’ll put together a menu of hog roast rolls, spit-roast lamb and salads.
Somewhere as small as Cop Street, a field, yard or garden is often the spot. Country lanes and long drives are fine if we know about them, and firm, level ground matters most. Tell us about dietary needs and allergies when you enquire, and we will give you the allergen information for every dish before booking.
Planning the cooking spot
The roaster needs space, cover and a safe distance from anything that could catch the heat. Things to check:
- Space away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches
- Flat outdoor ground for the roaster and a gazebo
- Any venue rules sorted in advance
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.

Common questions in Cop Street
Which station is closest to Cop Street?
The closest is Sandwich station, roughly 2.9 miles away.
We are gathering after a service at Church of St Nicholas: can you cater?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby with an outdoor spot for the roaster. Food is typically served at the reception venue rather than the church. Send us the address.
Do you cook it or do we?
You can have us cook, or hire the machine. Your quote will set out what’s included.
Do you bring plates?
Plates come as standard. China crockery is available on request and quoted separately.
What about guests who don’t eat pork?
We can add lamb or chicken, plus halloumi skewers for vegetarians and a vegan burger or sausage. Halal meat isn’t something we offer.
Who serves?
Our chef carves and our staff serve, and we clear up when service is finished.
Can you cook a hog roast in a small garden?
Often, yes, if there is a level, open spot away from the house and trees, as long as we can get the equipment in. A photo helps us check.
What happens in bad weather?
The roaster is under cover, so a shower does not stop us. Your guests will want somewhere dry to eat.
A hog roast or other catering?
Compared with a plated meal, a hog roast needs no kitchen and fewer staff, which frequently makes it better value. Compare like for like: the menu, sides, service time, staffing, crockery and travel. The cheapest quote is not always the best value.
