How our hog roast hire works in Gold Street
A whole hog, roasted for hours and carved in front of your guests: that’s what you get when you book a hog roast in Gold Street. Rolls, stuffing, apple sauce and crackling come as standard, and you can add sides and other meats. Whether it is festive gatherings and weddings, day or evening, we’ll put together a menu of spit-roast lamb, salads and rotisserie chicken and more.
In a small place like Gold Street, a hog roast frequently goes in a field, a farmyard or a big garden. Tell us about narrow lanes or long drives, and level, firm ground is the key. Everything we need to roast, carve and serve comes with us, and we pack away and leave the area as we found it.
Before you choose a spot
Planning the cooking spot is the key. Check these:
- Flat outdoor ground for the roaster and a gazebo
- Nothing overhead that could catch the heat
- A marquee, hall or barn as a wet-weather plan
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before booking.

For event organisers in Gold Street
If you are booking for a workplace, ask your facilities team about outside caterers and gas cooking. We’ll fit in with site rules.
Some venues add a fee for outside caterers, so check before booking. We’ll work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.
The process
We cook on a gas-fired roaster, so cooking does not depend on mains power; a nearby socket helps with lights if service runs into the evening. Because the roast takes hours, daylight is worth planning: in Gold Street, sunset is around 8:50pm in late May and 9:20pm in late June, while in December the light goes at about 3:50pm, so winter bookings need lighting from mid-afternoon.
- First, tell us about your event.
- We check the date and the cooking spot, then send a quote.
- We agree timings and where the roaster goes.
- On the day we roast for hours, then carve to order.
- Our staff serve and clear, then we pack away.
Preparing for the day
- Give us a contact number for the day
- Choose a level, open spot outdoors for the roaster
- Tell us about narrow gates or side passages
