Where the roaster can go in Chestnut Street
The roaster needs the right spot, because it cooks outside for several hours, and a little planning goes a long way:
- Somewhere dry for guests to eat
- Somewhere for us to park nearby
- Space away from the house, fences, sheds and trees
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.

How our party hog roast works in Chestnut Street
A hog roast works for street parties as well, once the road closure or permission is in place. On the menu are apple sauce, a vegan burger or sausage and crackling, and we’re frequently booked for anniversary parties and neighbourhood parties.
A country party near Chestnut Street is perfect for a hog roast: slow-roasted and eaten outside. Plan shelter in case it rains. You will know what’s included before booking: serving times, the menu, staff and anything else agreed, with no surprises on the day.
For event organisers in Chestnut Street
Marquee suppliers generally set distances for cooking equipment, so let them know about the roaster. We will keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so check before booking. We will liaise with them on access and set-up.
Catered or do it yourself?
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.
If you’re confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You do the roasting and carving; we will explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.

What we need to know

- Rules from the venue or landowner

- Your date and serving time
- Which meats and sides you’d like
We price every booking individually, based on numbers, menu, timings and distance. Tell us about your party for a quote: use our quote form.
Step by step
The secret is time: hours of gentle heat make the pork soft and juicy while the skin crisps into crackling. It rests for a short while before carving. In Chestnut Street, late May sunsets come at about 8:50pm and midsummer ones at about 9:15pm, so an early-evening carve is usually in daylight. After about 3:50pm in December, we need light to carve.
- Start with the date, the address and roughly how many.
- We check the garden or drive and quote.
- We arrive early and get the roast going.
- At food time, the chef carves and we serve.
- We clear the serving area and go.
Getting ready for the day
- Check there’s nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat
- Have a covered area for eating in case of rain
- Ensure we can wheel the roaster to the spot
