Working with your venue
Marquee hire companies often have rules about cooking near their tents, so tell them a hog roast is coming. We’ll keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.
For workplace bookings, ask your facilities team about outside caterers and gas cooking. We work to the site’s rules.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
Some guests will not eat pork, so it is worth adding an alternative. A few pointers:
- Add dietary questions to the invite
- Give us vegetarian and vegan numbers
- Count who does not eat pork
- Send the allergen list round before the party
Give us a contact for the evening, especially for an office party.
Gluten-free rolls are available on request.
Catered or do it yourself?
Full catering or machine hire? With catering, our chef roasts, carves and serves, and our staff clear up. With hire only, you do the cooking yourself.
A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.
How the day works
The secret is time: hours of gentle heat make the pork soft and juicy while the skin turns into crackling. Then it rests briefly before our chef carves. In Little Barrington, December daylight ends around 4:00pm, so for anything later, plan lights and somewhere warm to eat.
- Send us your date, venue and numbers.
- We check the outdoor cooking spot and quote.
- The roast starts in the afternoon.
- Our chef carves and staff serve.
- We pack up, even in the rain.
Preparing for the day
- Give us final numbers a week or so before
- Check there is nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat
- Tell us about narrow gates or side passages
