For planners, venues and organisers
Marquee suppliers usually set distances for cooking equipment, so let them know about the roaster. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.
Event organisers frequently ask caterers for paperwork such as a risk assessment. Let us know what your event requires and we will tell you what we can send.

The process
On the day, we set up the roaster on the agreed spot, put the cover up and start the roast. It then roasts slowly for several hours, worked back from your serving time. For a summer hog roast day in Great Kingshill, residents can enjoy the garden in daylight until about 9:25pm, so an afternoon in the garden works well. In December, with dark by about 3:55pm, lunchtime is best.
- We plan with your manager and kitchen.
- You get a clear price.
- We set up outdoors, clear of access routes.
- We carve thinly and serve on plates.
- We tidy up and go.
Before we arrive
- Plan a step-free way in for the equipment

What a hog roast costs
We don’t use a fixed price list, because every care home event is different. The main factors are:
- The date and time of year
- Whether you want china
- How many people are eating
- How easy it is to reach the spot
Numbers make the biggest difference: bigger groups normally cost less per head, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.
What to tell us
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what to include:
- A photo of the cooking area
- Any venue rules
- Where the event is
- Allergies we should know about
We need a few details to quote: the date and serving time, the venue or HP15 postcode, rough numbers and which extras you’d like. Send us your details through our quote form.
