For planners, venues and organisers
If you’re booking for a workplace, ask your facilities team about outside caterers and gas cooking. We work to the site’s rules.
Many venues set rules for outside caterers, from approved lists to where a gas roaster can go. Ask early, and tell us what they ask for.
What comes off the roaster
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Add salads, coleslaw and potatoes to make it a proper meal.
Roast pork
Everything starts with the slow-roasted pork: carved in front of you, a mix of shoulder and leg, straight from the roaster.

Space, access and the venue
A hog roast cooks outdoors for hours, so the spot matters, and a little planning goes a long way:
- An activities lead or manager as contact
- A dining room, lounge or shaded garden
- The manager’s agreement to a gas-fired roaster
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before booking.

How the day works
We cook on a gas-fired roaster, so we don’t need mains power to cook, though a socket nearby is handy for lighting. Winter afternoons in Nash Street are short, with sunset at about 3:50pm, so a lunchtime serving suits winter.
- We start with the date and numbers.
- We agree the cooking spot and quote.
- We roast through the morning.
- We serve inside or out.
- We clear away quietly.
Before we arrive
- Ensure the cooking area is away from walls, tents and trees
- Plan somewhere sheltered for people to eat if it rains
- Let us know about tight access
