Planners, venues and businesses
If the event is on someone else’s land, you’ll need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
For workplace bookings, check with facilities about gas equipment and vehicle access. We work to the site’s rules.
Before you choose a spot
A hog roast cooks outdoors for hours, so the spot matters, and a little planning goes a long way:
- A level spot in the garden or car park
- Somewhere for residents to eat comfortably
- A spot that keeps access clear
