Common questions in Locksgreen
Is Locksgreen too small for a hog roast?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Can you roast near the sea around Locksgreen?
Yes. Wind is something we plan for: a sheltered spot and secure cover.
What happens after service?
Our staff clear up after service, leaving the spot as we found it.
Is crockery included?
Plates are included. China is available at an extra cost.
How soon do you get booked up?
As early as you can for summer weekends and December. Quieter dates can often be booked at shorter notice. Send your date and we will check.
Will the smell bother the neighbours?
It’s worth warning them: the roast cooks for hours and the smell travels. Some hosts invite them over for a roll.
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 children like hog roasts?
Plain pork rolls go down well with children, and chicken or a vegan sausage covers fussy eaters.
What happens on the day
We get there well ahead of service, since slow roasting can’t be rushed. The smell typically brings people over long before we carve. Sunset in Locksgreen is about 8:55pm in late May and 9:20pm in late June, so most summer parties eat in daylight. After about 4:00pm in December, we need light to carve.

Preparing for the day
- Ensure the cooking area is away from walls, tents and trees

- Let us know about tight access

Organising for someone else?
Venues frequently have rules for outside caterers, including where gas cooking is allowed. Ask early, and pass on anything they need from us.
For venues and planners, we can fit around your other suppliers, sharing timings and a site plan.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
Not everyone eats pork, so plan an alternative. A few pointers:
- Keep the vegetarian option labelled
- Plan separately for anyone who needs halal food
- Request gluten-free rolls
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten
A cooked roast holds for a while, so tell us if timings change.
Ask about china for a sit-down party, quoted separately.

The menu, dish by dish
Crackling
Good crackling needs time and heat, which is exactly what a slow hog roast gives it.
Roast pork
Hours of slow roasting make the pork soft and full of flavour, and our chef carves it to order.
Should I cook it myself?
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
We also hire out the hog roast machine for confident cooks. You do the roasting and carving; we’ll explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
