How it works

- We confirm the spot with your manager and quote.
- On the day we set up outdoors and roast through the morning.
- We carve and serve where you choose: dining room, lounge or garden.
- Afterwards we pack up quietly.

For planners, venues and organisers
Marquee suppliers generally set distances for cooking equipment, so tell them a hog roast is coming. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.
For events on land you don’t own, such as a park or field, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.

Planning the cooking spot is the key. Check these:
- Clear of bedroom windows
- Sign-off from management

If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before you book.
