Planners, venues and businesses
Marquee hire companies frequently have rules about cooking near their tents, so tell them a hog roast is coming. We will keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.
If you are booking for a workplace, check with facilities about gas equipment and vehicle access. We work to the site’s rules.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
You will get allergen information for everything we serve. To make the most of it:
- Plan separately for anyone who needs halal food
- Collect dietary needs when you send the invite
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed
- Give us vegetarian and vegan numbers
We set up on the agreed spot, often first thing, then roast through the morning.
Salads and coleslaw make it a fuller lunch.
The process
A typical booking goes like this: the roaster goes up and the hog goes on, the pork cooks slowly for hours, and we carve and serve at the agreed time. Daytime open days in Hurst Wickham are rarely affected by light, but in December it is dark by about 3:55pm.
- Get in touch with the basics.
- We check with facilities and quote.
- We arrive and set up under cover.
- We carve and serve quickly.
- We clear up afterwards.
Getting ready for the day
