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.

Buckland: your questions answered
Do you come out to small places like Buckland?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Can you do a hog roast in Brockham Limeworks?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, typically the council, and many parks don’t allow cooking. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
Do we need to provide electricity?
The roaster runs on gas, so we don’t need mains power to cook. Power can help with lighting after dark.
What if things run late?
Because the roast takes hours, we plan from your serving time, and we can hold the roast for a while if the day runs behind.
How far ahead should we book?
Summer Saturdays and December book up first. Quieter dates can often be booked at shorter notice. Ask and we will check.
Where on site can you cook?
Anywhere suitable and approved, as long as it is outdoors.
Can it be more formal?
Yes. Add china, sides and a second roast for a more formal feel.
How do we prepare?
A clear, level cooking spot, a route to wheel the equipment in and a contact for the day. We’ll bring the rest.
Planning for dietary needs
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. Here are a few tips:
- Ask staff about dietary needs in advance
- Request gluten-free rolls
- Count anyone who doesn’t eat pork, for the alternatives
- Label the vegetarian and vegan food
Name someone in facilities or reception for the day.
China crockery is available for client events.
Prices and what affects them
The price comes down to:
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
- The number of people

Is a hog roast right for your staff event?
Next to a staff barbecue, everyone gets to join in. For larger numbers, a hog roast is typically good value, because one whole roast feeds plenty of people. The menu, extras such as china and the serving time all affect the final price.

How it works
Slow roasting is the whole point: hours of gentle heat make the pork soft and juicy while the skin crisps into crackling. Then it rests briefly before our chef carves. For a staff lunch in Buckland, daylight is not an issue, but a winter evening event is dark by about 3:55pm, so plan lighting for later events. A summer after-work event has daylight until about 9:20pm.
