Working with your venue
For workplace bookings, check with facilities about gas equipment and vehicle access. We’ll fit in with site rules.
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.
Planning the cooking spot
The roaster needs the right spot, because it cooks outside for several hours, so a few things are worth checking:
- Sign-off for outside caterers
- A covered area or canteen for wet weather
- Someone to meet us at reception
Not sure about the cooking spot? Send us a picture and we will tell you honestly.

We will sign in and follow site rules.

Catered or do it yourself?

You could go for a cold buffet, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience, especially outdoors.

The process
People love watching the carving: our chef carves the pork in front of the queue, and the crackling is shared out so everyone gets some. For a staff lunch in Hambledon, daylight isn’t an issue, but a winter evening event is dark by about 4:00pm, so evening events need a lit cooking area. Summer events have daylight until around 9:20pm.
- Contact us with the basics.
- We check with facilities and quote.
- We arrive and set up under cover.
- Service is fast once we carve.
- We clear up afterwards.
How to prepare
