For event organisers in Grateley
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.
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so check before booking. We will work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.

A closer look at the menu
Spit-roast lamb
Spit-roast lamb cooks slowly like the hog, and it is carved the same way.
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
For vegetarians, halloumi and vegetable skewers are cooked separately from the meat, so they get something hot and satisfying too.
How the day works
A hog roast is always cooked outside, under a gazebo on level ground, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches. We agree exactly where before the day. Open days in Grateley usually finish in daylight, though in winter it’s dark by about 4:00pm, so late events need lighting.
- Start with the date, site and numbers.
- We check with facilities and quote.
- We arrive and set up under cover.
- Service is fast once we carve.
- We leave the site clean.
Before we arrive
- Plan a step-free way in for the equipment
- Plan somewhere sheltered for people to eat if it rains
- Ask about allergies and dietary needs beforehand
