For planners, venues and organisers
If you are a venue or event planner, we are happy to work alongside your team.
For events on land you do not own, such as a park or field, you’ll need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
Planning for dietary needs
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. A few tips:
- Add dietary questions to the invite
- Send the allergen list round before the party
- Plan separately for anyone who needs halal food
- Give us vegetarian and vegan numbers
If the party runs late, we can hold the roast a little, so tell us about delays.
Lights around the carving station add atmosphere.
Is a hog roast right for your Christmas party?
Compared with a barbecue, a hog roast copes much better with the cold. Numbers make the biggest difference: the price per head generally falls as numbers rise, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.
Why us?
- The classics: stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- Halloumi skewers and a vegan option too
- Timed around your day
- Roasted on site, slowly, for hours
