Organisers may ask for documents such as a risk assessment or gas safety information. Let us know what your event requires and we will confirm what we can provide.
DIY versus a catered hog roast
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.
Before you choose a spot
The roaster needs the right spot, because it cooks outside for several hours, so a few things are worth checking:
- Vehicle access close by
- A level outdoor area that can be lit
- Clearance from walls and tents
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.

Carol services and Christmas fairs at churches such as Church of St John the Evangelist draw people who are glad of hot food afterwards. If you’re organising a Christmas fair for a school like Hailey Church of England Primary School, hot rolls go down well.
