Working with your venue
For events on land you do not own, such as a park or field, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
Some venues add a fee for outside caterers, so it is worth asking first. We will work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.
A hog roast compared with other options
