Working with your venue
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.
Venues frequently have rules for outside caterers, from approved lists to where a gas roaster can go. Check early, and tell us what they ask for.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
Not everyone eats pork, so it is worth adding an alternative. Helpful tips:
- Collect dietary needs when you send the invite
- Give us vegetarian and vegan numbers
- Keep alternatives clearly labelled
- Halal is not offered, so arrange it separately if needed
Afterwards we tidy up, and leave the site clean.
If it is a themed open day, tell us and we’ll fit in.
Where the roaster can go in Ewhurst Green

Step by step
We roast under cover, so a shower will not spoil the food. Your staff will still want somewhere dry to eat, such as a marquee, hall or barn. After-work summer events in Ewhurst Green have light until about 9:20pm at midsummer and 8:50pm in late May, which suits a team barbecue-style evening. In late September, the light goes at about 7:05pm.
