Planners, venues and businesses
For events on land you do not own, such as a park or field, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
Organisers may ask for documents such as a risk assessment or gas safety information. Let us know what your event requires and we will confirm what we can provide.

- We send a quote.
- We set up outdoors, clear of access routes.

Could you cook in Millfields Park?
Only if the landowner, typically the council, allows it. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.

Tell us the time that suits residents, and we will plan the roast around it.
Can we hire the machine and cook it ourselves?
Yes, we hire out the hog roast machine. We will explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.

Numbers, menu and travel decide the price. Send us the details and we will quote.
What’s included?
Pork, stuffing, apple sauce and crackling in a soft roll. Your quote lists any sides and extras.
Can residents with swallowing difficulties have the hog roast?
We don’t prepare texture-modified meals; your team prepares those portions.
Do we need our own staff?
No need for your own staff: we carve, serve and tidy up.
