Planners, venues and businesses
If you’re booking for a workplace, check with facilities about gas equipment and vehicle access. We will fit in with site rules.
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.

Prices and what affects them
We work out each quote from:
- Menu choices and extras
- Whether you want china
- Access to the cooking area
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, along with distance and how easy the site is. There’s no one-size price, so we quote each one individually.
Getting an accurate quote
Good details mean a good quote. Useful details:
- Roughly how many people
- The address or postcode
- Your date and serving time
- Any dietary needs or allergies
Numbers not final yet? Give us your best estimate and we will quote on that, and you can confirm nearer the time. Send us your details through our quote form.
Planning for dietary needs
Rolls and stuffing usually contain gluten, so ask for gluten-free rolls if you need them. A few more tips:
- Send the allergen list round before the party
- Stuffing typically contains gluten, so check the allergen list
- Add dietary questions to the invite
- Halal isn’t offered, so arrange it separately
We serve hot rolls on cue, so food goes out straight from the roaster.
Gluten-free rolls are available on request.
The process
The roaster is gas-fired, so we don’t need mains power to cook, though a socket nearby is handy for lighting. A lunchtime Christmas party in South Malling is the only one in good daylight, as it is dark by about 3:55pm, so for anything later, plan lights and somewhere warm to eat.
- Ask early for a December date.
- We check your venue and send a quote.
- We set up under cover in daylight.
- We serve pork, turkey and sides.
- We clear the serving area and go.
How to prepare
- Have a covered area for eating in case of rain
- Pick a flat, open area outside for cooking
- Plan a step-free way in for the equipment
