Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Compared with a cold buffet, hot roast pork carved in front of you is a different experience. A buffet can sit out all afternoon. Adding lamb, chicken, extra sides or china changes the price, so each one is itemised. Keeping it simple keeps it affordable.
Why Lumley hosts choose us
- Fresh carving at the serving station
- Planned to your running order
- Crackling for everyone who wants it
- Serving and clearing done for you

About our hog roast hire in Lumley
The smell of roasting pork is half the appeal. We cook at your venue in Lumley, low and slow, then carve the pork into rolls with all the trimmings. For village fêtes and school fairs and christmas parties, we will put together a menu of spit-roast lamb, crackling and rotisserie chicken and more.
In a hamlet or village like Lumley, 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.

What we serve, dish by dish
Rotisserie chicken
Rotisserie chicken is there for anyone who’d rather not have pork, and children usually like it too.
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Our vegetarian option is halloumi and vegetable skewers: grilled halloumi with vegetables, in a roll or on a plate.
Planning for dietary needs
Tell us about dietary needs early and we’ll help. Some ideas:
- If anyone needs halal food, plan a separate option
- Count anyone who doesn’t eat pork, and order an alternative for them
- Ask about allergies when you send invitations
- Remember that stuffing usually contains gluten, so ask for the allergen list
The roaster needs looking after for hours, which is our job, not yours. You can relax and enjoy the day.
Prefer to cook yourself? Ask about DIY machine hire.
