Common questions in Gold Street
Is Gold Street too small for a hog roast?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
Can you cater after a service at St Mary's Room?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Churches rarely have space for a hog roast, so the food is typically elsewhere. Send us the address.
Does the roaster have to be outside?
It cooks outside, under a gazebo, on a level spot. The food can be carried in and served indoors where the venue allows.
Do you cover Gold Street?
We do. Send us the address and we will check the date.
When should we book?
The earlier the better for popular dates. But it’s always worth asking: send us your details through our quote form.
How big a hog will we need?
We size the roast to your numbers, so a good estimate matters. The quote sets it out.
What space does the roaster need?
Roughly the footprint of a gazebo or two, on level ground, well clear of walls, tents and branches. We will confirm the space with your quote.
Can we hire the hog roast machine for our party?
If you’re happy to roast and carve, yes. Catering is the easier option.
Working with your venue
Booking for a club or group? One clear contact makes everything easier, especially on the day.
For venues and planners, we can fit around your other suppliers.
What happens on the day
The secret is time: hours of gentle heat make the pork soft and juicy while the skin turns into crackling. It rests for a short while before carving. A summer party in Gold Street stays light until about 9:20pm at midsummer, so a garden party can run well into the evening. By late September sunset is around 7:00pm, so plan festoon lights for later parties.

Planning help
Prices and what affects them
Each booking is quoted on its own, based on a few main things:
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
- The serving time and how long we are on site
- Distance from us
- Crockery choices
Adding lamb, chicken, extra sides or china changes the price, so each one is itemised. Keeping it simple keeps it affordable.
Details that help
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what to include:
- Where the roaster could go, ideally with a photo
- Allergies we should know about
- Where the event is
- Which meats and sides you’d like
The quickest way to get a price is to send us your date, venue and numbers. A picture of where the roaster could go helps us check the space. Fill in our quote form.
Before you choose a spot
The cooking area is the main thing to plan. A quick checklist:
- Somewhere dry for guests to eat
