Planning help
Working with your venue
If the event is on someone else’s land, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
Many venues set rules for outside caterers, including where gas cooking is allowed. Check early, and tell us what they ask for.

Prices and what affects them
Each booking is quoted on its own, and the price depends on a few things:
- Time on site
- How easy it is to reach the spot
- The journey to the venue
- Crockery choices
Adding lamb, chicken, extra sides or china changes the price, so we list each one in the quote. Keeping it simple keeps it affordable.
What to tell us
When you enquire, it helps to include:
- Rough numbers
- The address or postcode
- Which meats and sides you’d like
- Where the roaster could go, ideally with a picture
A quote from us sets out the menu, timings, staffing and what’s included, so you can compare caterers fairly. Send us your details through our quote form.
Looking after everyone
Most people love a hog roast, but it’s pork. Here’s how to cover everyone:
- Keep alternatives clearly labelled
- Put the allergen list where people can see it
- Add a dietary question to the sign-up
- Halal is not offered, so arrange it separately if needed
On the day, we arrive early and set up where agreed, then roast through the morning.
China crockery is available for client events, quoted separately.
The menu, dish by dish
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Crunchy coleslaw suits roast pork, and salads and new potatoes work well on a plate.
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
Soft rolls hold the pork, stuffing and apple sauce together, easy to eat standing up. Gluten-free rolls are available on request.
What the cooking area needs
Most outdoor spaces can work with a little planning. Here’s what helps:
- A covered area or canteen for wet weather
- Level hardstanding or lawn
- Access through the site gates
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before you book.
