For planners, venues and organisers
Some venues add a fee for outside caterers, so check before booking. We’ll work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.
Marquee suppliers generally set distances for cooking equipment, so tell them a hog roast is coming. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.
Planning the cooking spot
The cooking area is the main thing to plan. A quick checklist:
- A dining room, lounge or shaded garden
- Clear of bedroom windows
- Approval from the home
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before booking.
