Organising for someone else?
Marquee suppliers generally set distances for cooking equipment, so tell them a hog roast is coming. We’ll keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.
For events on land you do not own, such as a park or field, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.

DIY versus a catered hog roast
A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.
We also hire out the hog roast machine for confident cooks. You cook and carve it yourself; we’ll explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
How the day works
Serving is straightforward: the chef carves and the team serves, and sides go out at the same time. Afterwards we clear the serving area and pack away. In Four Elms, summer evenings stay light until about 9:20pm, so an after-work hog roast works well in summer. By late September, sunset is around 7:05pm.
- Start with the date, site and numbers.
- We check with facilities and quote.
- We roast on site.
- We carve and serve quickly.
- We clear up afterwards.
Preparing for the day
- Tell us about narrow gates or side passages
- Check there is nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat
- Plan a step-free way in for the equipment
