Planners, venues and businesses
Venues often have rules for outside caterers, from approved lists to where a gas roaster can go. Check early, and tell us what they ask for.
For events on land you do not own, such as a park or field, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.

Allergies and dietary needs
Not everyone eats pork, so it’s worth adding an alternative. Helpful tips:
- Modified diets should come from the home’s kitchen
- Ask us to carve thinly for residents
- Plan separately for halal if needed
- Tell us about dietary needs in advance
Afterwards we tidy up calmly.
Rotisserie chicken is an alternative to pork.

The process
We cook on a gas-fired roaster, so cooking doesn’t depend on mains power. In Silverhill, December daylight ends around 3:55pm, so winter hog roast days are best kept to lunchtime.
- We plan with your manager and kitchen.
- You get a clear price.
- We set up outdoors, clear of access routes.
- We carve thinly and serve on plates.
- We leave the grounds tidy.
Preparing for the day
- Check there’s nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat
- Check there’s a route to wheel the equipment in, without steps
- Give us final numbers a week or so before
How to get a price
Send us the date, the address or TN38 postcode and rough numbers, plus when you’d like to eat. We will confirm availability and send a price. Use our quote form.
