Planners, venues and businesses
If the event is on someone else’s land, you’ll need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
Organisers may ask for documents such as a risk assessment or gas safety information. Tell us what you need and we will tell you what we can send.
Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Compared with a barbecue run by staff, we take the cooking off your team. Extras such as lamb, chicken, more sides or china crockery add to the cost, so we list each one in the quote. Keeping it simple keeps it affordable.
What you get with us
- Self-contained: roaster, cover and serving kit
- Cooked on the day, low and slow
- Lamb, chicken and vegetarian options alongside
- Our staff serve and clear
