Working with your venue
Event organisers often ask caterers for paperwork such as a risk assessment. Tell us what you need and we will confirm what we can provide.
Marquee hire companies frequently have rules about cooking near their tents, so tell them a hog roast is coming. We will keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.
Before you choose a spot
The roaster needs space, cover and a safe distance from anything that could catch the heat. Things to check:
- A spot that keeps access clear
- Away from windows that open and residents’ rooms
- A dining room, lounge or shaded garden
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise.
