For event organisers in Locksgreen
If you’re organising for someone else, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, tell us who our contact on the day will be. We’ll keep everyone in the loop.
For events on land you don’t own, such as a park or field, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
Should I cook it myself?
A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.

Locksgreen questions
Is Locksgreen too small for a hog roast?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
What about windy coastal sites?
Yes. Wind is something we plan for: a sheltered spot and secure cover.
What comes with the hog roast?
Rolls with roast pork, stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. Extras include lamb, chicken, halloumi skewers, a vegan option, salads and potatoes.
How big a hog will we need?
Quantities are based on your numbers, and we’ll confirm everything in writing.
Does the roaster have to be outside?
Outside, always. The food can be carried in and served indoors where the venue allows.
Do you do evening food?
Yes, evening food is very popular. Rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling go down well after dancing.
When should we book?
As early as you can for summer weekends and December. Quieter dates can often be booked at shorter notice. Ask and we’ll check.
Can you be flexible on serving time?
We work back from when you want to eat, and we can hold the roast for a while if the day runs behind.
Before you choose a spot
The cooking area is the main thing to plan. Check these:
- Step-free access for our equipment
- A level spot near, but not too near, the marquee
- Approval from the venue or marquee supplier
Locksgreen is a more remote spot, so tell us early and we will plan the journey.

What comes off the roaster
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
Rolls make a hog roast easy to eat anywhere. Gluten-free rolls can be provided on request.
Crackling
For many people, the crackling is the best bit: crisp, golden and full of flavour, straight off the hog.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
Most people love a hog roast, but it’s pork. Here’s how to cover everyone:
- Confirm final numbers a week or so before
- Ask for gluten-free rolls for coeliac guests
- Count non-pork eaters, for lamb, chicken or a vegetarian choice
- Stuffing normally contains gluten
On your wedding day, the food should look after itself. We roast through the afternoon and carve at the agreed time.
Ask for gluten-free rolls for any coeliac guests.
- Cooked where you are, slowly, over several hours outdoors
- Our chef carves the pork, with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling on the side
- Not just pork: spit-roast lamb, chicken and vegetarian choices
- Staff to serve at the agreed time, then clear away
