Planners, venues and businesses
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.
If the event is on someone else’s land, you will need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
What we serve, dish by dish
Stuffing and apple sauce
No hog roast roll is complete without sage and onion stuffing and apple sauce, balancing the rich, salty pork.
Rotisserie chicken
Chicken from the rotisserie gives people a non-pork choice, roasted until golden.
Planning the cooking spot
We need room to cook safely and under cover. Before booking, check:
- Away from opening windows
- 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’ll advise.
