For event organisers in Hamstead
Booking for a club or group? One clear contact makes everything easier, especially on the day.
Marquee suppliers typically set distances for cooking equipment, so let them know about the roaster. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.
The process
The roaster cooks outdoors, on a level, open spot under cover, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches. We’ll agree the spot with you beforehand. In Hamstead, December daylight ends around 4:00pm, so evening parties need lights and shelter.
- You tell us your date, venue, numbers and serving time.
- We check the date and the outdoor cooking spot, then send a quote.
- We set up under cover in daylight and roast through the afternoon.
- The team serves hot rolls at the agreed time.
- Afterwards we pack up and leave the spot tidy.
Preparing for the day
- Tell us about narrow gates or side passages
- Ask about allergies and dietary needs beforehand
- Make sure we can wheel the roaster to the spot

Compared with a traditional sit-down Christmas lunch, a hog roast with turkey is relaxed and easier to serve. Extras such as lamb, chicken, more sides or china crockery add to the cost, so we list each one in the quote. Keeping it simple keeps it affordable.
