For event organisers in Easington
If you are a venue or event planner, we are happy to work alongside your team.
Marquee suppliers typically set distances for cooking equipment, so tell them a hog roast is coming. We’ll keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.
What a hog roast costs
The biggest factors are:
- Which meats and sides you choose
- How many people are eating
- How easy it is to reach the spot
- Time on site
For larger numbers, a hog roast is usually good value, since one roast goes a long way. The menu, extras such as china and the serving time all affect the final price.
What we need to know
Here’s what we’ll ask:
- Where the event is
- Which meats and sides you’d like
- Any dietary needs or allergies
- A picture of the cooking area
Every quote lists the menu, the serving time, staff and plates, so you can compare caterers fairly. Use our quote form.
The process
The roaster is gas-fired, so we do not need mains power to cook; a nearby socket helps with lights if service runs into the evening. For a summer hog roast day in Easington, residents can enjoy the garden in daylight until about 9:25pm, so an afternoon in the garden works well. In winter, dark by about 3:55pm, a lunchtime event is better.
- We talk through residents’ needs with your team.
- You get a clear price.
- We set up outdoors, clear of access routes.
- Food goes out on plates.
- We tidy up and go.
Before we arrive
- Keep the spot clear of buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches
- Pick a flat, open area outside for cooking
