Enough level ground outdoors for the roaster and a serving table under cover, and a way to wheel everything in. Send us a photo if you are unsure.

What to tell us
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. Here’s what to include:
- The address or postcode
- Rough numbers
- What the outdoor space is like
- Which meats and sides you’d like
A quote from us sets out the menu, timings, staffing and what’s included, so you can compare caterers fairly. Send us your details through our quote form.
Planners, venues and businesses
Marquee hire companies often have rules about cooking near their tents, so tell them a hog roast is coming. We’ll keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so check before you book. We’ll liaise with them on access and set-up.
Before you choose a spot
A good cooking spot makes the day run smoothly. Look for:
- Someone to meet us
- The manager’s agreement to a gas-fired roaster
- A level outdoor area
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.
