How our hog roast hire works in Hodsoll Street
In Hodsoll Street, a hog roast is an easy way to feed a lot of people: one roast, slow-cooked for hours, carved in front of everyone. Everything comes with us, and our staff serve and clear. Typical bookings include village fêtes and school fairs and birthdays and anniversaries, with crackling, hog roast rolls and coleslaw.
In a hamlet or village like Hodsoll Street, a farmyard or a neighbour’s field can make a good cooking spot. Mention gates and soft ground when you contact us. Timings are planned around your event, working back from when you want to eat, so the food is ready at the right moment.
Working with your venue
Marquee hire companies often have rules about cooking near their tents, so let them know about the roaster. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.
Organisers may ask for documents such as a risk assessment or gas safety information. Let us know what your event requires and we will confirm what we can provide.

What happens on the day
Carving is part of the show: the hog is carved in front of your guests, with crackling for everyone who wants it. Around midsummer it stays light in Hodsoll Street until about 9:20pm; by late September sunset is nearer 7:00pm, so summer evening service is generally in daylight. In December it’s dark by about 3:50pm, so the cooking and serving area needs lighting.
- It starts with your date, venue, numbers and serving time.
- You get a check on the date and the spot, and a quote.
- On the day we arrive hours before serving and start the roast under cover.
- At serving time, the chef carves and the team serves.
- We clear the serving area and pack away.
Getting ready for the day
- Make sure the cooking area is away from walls, tents and trees
- Pick a flat, open area outside for cooking
