Your questions about a hog roast for your team in Colwell
What about windy coastal sites?
Yes, of course. We roast under cover and choose a sheltered spot where we can.
Is Colwell too small for a hog roast?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
How do you work out quantities?
We plan quantities from the numbers you give us, and we’ll talk it through when we quote.
Do we need to provide electricity?
Not to cook, because the roaster is gas-fired. Tell us what’s available and we’ll plan around it.
How much room do you need?
Enough level ground outdoors for the roaster and a serving table under cover, plus a step-free route to wheel the equipment in. A photo helps.
Do you leave the area tidy?
Our staff clear up after service, and leave the area tidy.
Is crockery included?
Plates are included. China is available at an extra cost.
What comes with the hog roast?
Rolls with roast pork, stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. You can add lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options, salads, coleslaw and potatoes.
The process
We cook on a gas-fired roaster, so cooking doesn’t depend on mains power. After-work summer events in Colwell have light until about 9:20pm at midsummer and 8:55pm in late May, so an after-work hog roast works well in summer. In late September, the light goes at about 7:10pm.
