Slow-roasted pork in Lisson Grove
How our hog roast hire works in Lisson Grove
In Lisson Grove, we cater birthdays, weddings, staff days and fêtes. The idea is always the same: a slow roast on site, carved fresh and served by our team. We are frequently asked to cater wedding breakfasts and evening food and village fêtes and school fairs, serving hog roast rolls, new potatoes and crackling.
Gardens in Lisson Grove tend to be compact, with neighbours on both sides, so clearance from fences and windows matters most. A word with the neighbours before a long roast is always a good idea. Our staff serve and clear, so you’re not left handing out rolls.

Allergies and dietary needs
Rolls and stuffing typically contain gluten, and gluten-free rolls are available on request. A few more tips:
- Collect allergies with your RSVPs
- Tell guests what’s on the menu in advance
- Request gluten-free rolls for coeliac guests
- We don’t offer halal meat, so arrange that separately if it’s needed
If timings shift, tell us: a cooked roast can be held for a while before carving.
We also hire out the roaster for DIY hog roasts.
What happens on the day
We roast under cover, so a shower will not spoil the food. Your guests will still want somewhere dry to eat, such as a marquee, hall or barn. Around midsummer it stays light in Lisson Grove until about 9:20pm; by late September sunset is nearer 7:05pm, so a summer evening hog roast is normally carved in daylight. In December it is dark by about 3:55pm, so the cooking and serving area needs lighting.
- First, tell us about your event.
- You get an availability check and a clear quote.
- We agree timings and where the roaster goes.
- We roast slowly on site, then carve for your guests.
- We serve, tidy up and leave the spot clean.
Before we arrive
- Think about shelter for your guests
- Have a level outdoor spot ready
- Tell us about narrow gates or side passages

Why choose a hog roast in Lisson Grove?
