Daytime open days in Hound Green are rarely affected by light, though in winter it is dark by about 3:55pm, so late events need lighting.

Catered or do it yourself?
You could roast a hog yourself, but it is a long day’s work, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
We also hire out the hog roast machine for confident cooks. You do the roasting and carving; we will confirm what comes with it when you ask.
Organising for someone else?
Event organisers often ask caterers for paperwork such as a risk assessment. Tell us what you need and we’ll confirm what we can provide.
If you are a venue or event planner, we can fit around your other suppliers, sharing timings and a site plan.
