Hog roast hire in Dunn Street
How our hog roast hire works in Dunn Street
People book a hog roast in Dunn Street for everything from birthdays to fêtes. The idea is always the same: slow roasting at your venue, then carving and serving. On the menu are crackling, rotisserie chicken and hog roast rolls, and we’re often booked for christmas fairs and parties at home.
In a hamlet or village like Dunn Street, a farmyard or a neighbour’s field can make a good cooking spot. Gates, verges and soft ground are worth mentioning when you enquire. Our staff serve and clear, so nobody in your party has to serve.

Common questions in Dunn Street
Can you do a hog roast in South Wood?
Only if the landowner, normally the council, allows it. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
Is Dunn Street close to London?
Roughly 31 miles from the centre of London.
Do you provide china?
We bring plates as standard. If you’d like china, ask and we’ll add it to the quote.
Can we hire the machine and cook it ourselves?
We do, if you’re happy to roast and carve yourself. Ask and we’ll talk you through it.
Can you cook inside a hall or marquee?
The roaster always stays outside, under cover, away from buildings and marquee walls. Serving inside is frequently possible, with the venue’s agreement.
What’s included?
The classic: pork in rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. Your quote lists any sides and extras.
Can you work around our timings?
Because the roast takes hours, we plan from your serving time, and we can hold the roast for a while if the day runs behind.
Is hog roast hire catered or DIY?
We offer full catering and DIY machine hire. Your quote will set out what’s included.
About the food
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
Everything goes into a soft roll, perfect for eating on the move. Ask for gluten-free rolls if you need them.
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Coleslaw is the natural partner for a pork roll, and salads and new potatoes work well on a plate.
How the day works
Carving is part of the show: our chef carves the pork in front of the queue, and the crackling is shared out so everyone gets some. Around midsummer it stays light in Dunn Street until about 9:15pm; by late September sunset is nearer 7:00pm, so a summer evening hog roast is normally carved in daylight. In December it is dark by about 3:50pm, so the cooking and serving area needs lighting.
- First, you send us your date, address, numbers and serving time.
- We check availability and the space for the roaster and send a clear quote.
- On the day we arrive hours before serving and start the roast under cover.
- Our chef carves to order and our staff serve at the agreed time.
- We clear the serving area and pack away.
Getting ready for the day
- Gather dietary requirements early
- Check there’s nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat
- Choose a level, open spot outdoors for the roaster
