Step by step
A hog roast is always cooked outside, under a gazebo on level ground, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches. We’ll agree the spot with you beforehand. Lunchtime bookings in Freshwater are in daylight all year; winter evening events are dark by about 4:05pm, so plan lighting for later events. Summer events have daylight until around 9:20pm.

- We check access and gas rules and quote.
- The roast starts early on site.
- We serve within your break.
- We pack away and go.
Preparing for the day

Questions from Freshwater
What about windy coastal sites?
Yes. Wind is something we plan for: a sheltered spot and secure cover.
Do you cater open days with families?
Yes. Include visitors in your numbers and we will cater for all.
Can you cook inside a hall or marquee?
Outside, always. Serving indoors is typically fine if the venue is happy.
Can you serve a fixed lunch break?
Tell us the numbers and the time and we will plan around them.
What space does the roaster need?
A flat, open spot outside, and a way to wheel everything in. Send us a picture if you’re unsure.
What paperwork do you provide for our site?
Let us know your site’s requirements, and we will tell you what we can send.
Do you cover Freshwater?
Yes, Freshwater is in our area. Send us the address and we will check the date.
Do you leave the area tidy?
Our staff clear up after service, and leave the area tidy.
Should I cook it myself?
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
If you are confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You cook and carve it yourself; we’ll confirm what comes with it when you ask.
Working with your venue
Event organisers frequently ask caterers for paperwork such as a risk assessment. Let us know what your event requires and we will confirm what we can provide.
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so check before booking. We’ll work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.
What affects the price in Freshwater
Your quote depends on:
- Distance from us
- The serving time and how long we’re on site
- Crockery choices
- How easy it is to reach the spot
Numbers make the biggest difference: the price per head typically falls as numbers rise, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.
Details that help
When you contact us, it helps to include:
- Any dietary needs or allergies
- Your menu choices
- The venue or postcode
- Rough numbers
