How our hog roast hire works in Lions Green
We roast the hog at your event, not in a kitchen miles away, so the pork is hot and the crackling is crisp when it’s served. Add lamb, chicken or vegetarian options if you like. Whether it’s festive gatherings and birthdays and anniversaries, we will put together a menu of new potatoes, coleslaw and crackling.
For a rural spot like Lions Green, a hog roast feels right at home. Tell us about gates, tracks and the ground. The carving happens right in front of your guests, so the pork is hot and the crackling is crisp.

Working with your venue
Event organisers often ask caterers for paperwork such as a risk assessment. Let us know what your event requires and we’ll tell you what we can send.
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so it is worth asking first. We’ll work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.

FAQs for Lions Green
Do you cater at venues in the High Weald National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about cooking and vehicles, so check with yours. We will work to whatever the site needs.
Is Lions Green too small for a hog roast?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
What space does the roaster need?
Roughly the footprint of a gazebo or two, on level ground, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging trees. We’ll confirm the space with your quote.
What if things run late?
We work back from when you want to eat, and a cooked roast can be held for a while if things run late.
What’s the price?
It depends on numbers, the menu and how long we’re on site. Tell us your date and we’ll send a price.
Can you roast in the rain?
The roaster is under cover, so a shower does not stop us. Your guests will want somewhere dry to eat.
Can we choose catered or DIY?
Either: fully catered, where we roast, carve and serve, or DIY machine hire. Catering is the most popular choice.
What should we sort out beforehand?
Only the space and a contact number. We bring the roaster, cover and serving kit.
Planning the cooking spot
We need room to cook safely and under cover. Before booking, check:
- A step-free route to wheel the equipment in
- Flat outdoor ground for the roaster and a gazebo
- Any venue rules sorted in advance
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before booking.

The process
Your timings come first. If things run late, we can hold the cooked roast for a while before carving, so keep us posted on the day. Around midsummer it stays light in Lions Green until about 9:15pm; by late September sunset is nearer 7:05pm, so a summer evening hog roast is normally carved in daylight. In December it’s dark by about 3:55pm, 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.
- We arrive well ahead, put the cover up and get the hog roasting.
- We carve and serve when you are ready to eat.
- We clear the serving area and pack away.
Getting ready for the day
- Send final numbers in good time
- Plan a step-free way in for the equipment
- Keep the spot clear of buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches
