For event organisers in Lower Halstow
Marquee suppliers typically set distances for cooking equipment, so tell them a hog roast is coming. We’ll keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.
For events on land you do not own, such as a park or field, you’ll need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.

Should I cook it myself?
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from early set-up to carving at the end. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.
Allergies and dietary needs
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. Here are a few tips:
- Collect dietary needs when you send the invite
- Count anyone who does not eat pork, for the alternatives
- Put the allergen list where people can see it
- Keep alternatives clearly labelled
We serve on time, keeping the queue moving.
Add sides for a bigger lunch.
