What else we do in West Grinstead
For planners, venues and organisers
For workplace bookings, ask your facilities team about outside caterers and gas cooking. We’ll fit in with site rules.
Marquee hire companies frequently have rules about cooking near their tents, so let them know about the roaster. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.
Full catering or machine hire?
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
A hog roast compared with other options
Next to a restaurant booking, you avoid set-menu prices and keep everyone in one place. For larger numbers, a hog roast is normally good value, because one whole roast feeds a lot of people. The menu, extras such as china and the serving time all affect the final price.
