Organising for someone else?
Marquee hire companies often have rules about cooking near their tents, so tell them a hog roast is coming. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.
Some venues add a fee for outside caterers, so it is worth asking first. We will liaise with them on access and set-up.
