Planning an event in Liverton Street?
For planners, venues and organisers
Marquee hire companies frequently have rules about cooking near their tents, so let them know about the roaster. We will keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.
For events on land you don’t own, such as a park or field, you will need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
How our wedding hog roast works in Liverton Street
Couples book a hog roast for the main meal, the evening or both. The hog roasts slowly at your venue through the afternoon, and our chef carves on cue. Whether it is rustic barn receptions and marquee weddings, we’ll put together a menu of spit-roast lamb, new potatoes and salads for your guests.
Near Liverton Street, weddings are frequently in fields, barns or gardens. That’s where a hog roast shines: no kitchen, just level ground and cover. Tell us about lanes, gates and ground conditions. You’ll know what’s included before you book: the date, the serving time, the menu and the plates, with no surprises on the day.

DIY versus a catered hog roast
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is normally easier.
If you are confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You cook and carve it yourself; we’ll confirm what comes with it when you ask.
Questions from Liverton Street
Can you do a hog roast in Kiln Wood?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, generally the council, and many parks do not allow cooking. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
Can you do a hog roast at a venue in the Kent Downs National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about cooking and vehicles, so check with yours. We will work to whatever the site needs.
Can you cook inside a hall or marquee?
It cooks outside, under a gazebo, on a level spot. Serving indoors is generally fine if the venue is happy.
Can you do gluten-free?
Ask for gluten-free rolls and we’ll bring them. We’ll give you full allergen information for every dish.
What’s the price?
Numbers, menu and travel decide the price. Tell us your date and we will send a price.
Is a hog roast OK for a sit-down meal?
Of course: carved pork on plates with sides, with our staff serving.
Can you roast in the rain?
Rain does not stop the cooking. Somewhere covered for people to eat helps.
How do you work out quantities?
Quantities are based on your numbers, and we’ll confirm everything in writing.

The process
Slow roasting is the whole point: the meat cooks gently until it is tender while the skin crisps into crackling. Then it rests briefly before our chef carves. For a summer wedding in Liverton Street, the sun sets at about 9:15pm in late June and about 7:00pm in late September, which means an evening hog roast is usually served in daylight in high summer. Later in the year, plan lighting: in December it’s dark by about 3:50pm.
