Organising for someone else?
Venues often have rules for outside caterers, from approved lists to where a gas roaster can go. Check early, and tell us what they ask for.
Marquee hire companies often have rules about cooking near their tents, so tell them a hog roast is coming. We will keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.

What comes off the roaster
Spit-roast lamb
With lamb as well, there are two roasts to choose from, which suits bigger events.
Crackling
Good crackling needs time and heat, which is exactly what a slow hog roast gives it.
Catered or do it yourself?
Catered or DIY? Catered means we do everything: roasting, carving, serving and clearing. With hire only, you do the cooking yourself.
A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.
Planning for dietary needs
Standard rolls and stuffing contain gluten, and gluten-free rolls are available on request. A few more tips:
- Share the allergen information with the team
- Plan separately for anyone who needs halal food
- Keep alternatives clearly labelled
- Add a dietary question to the sign-up
At the agreed time, our chef carves and our staff serve, so people get back to work on time.
Ask about china for a more formal lunch, quoted separately.
Before you choose a spot
Most gardens, car parks, yards and fields work if a few things are right. Here’s what we look for:
- Level hardstanding or lawn
- A safe distance from walls and vehicles
- Your site’s agreement to a gas-fired roaster
