Your questions about a hog roast for your team in Martin
Is Martin too small for a hog roast?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
How much room do you need?
Enough level ground outdoors for the roaster and a serving table under cover, plus a step-free route to wheel the equipment in. A picture helps.
When should we book?
Summer Saturdays and December book up first. For other dates, a few weeks can be enough. Ask and we will check.
Who serves?
No need for your own staff: we carve, serve and tidy up.
Do you need power or water?
Cooking is gas-fired, so no mains power is needed for the roast. Power can help with lighting after dark.
Do you cover Martin?
We do. Send us the address and we will confirm availability.
Can you work around our timings?
Within reason, we can. Give us a contact on the day and we will fit around changes.
How do we prepare?
The agreed cooking area, access for our equipment and someone to meet us. We bring everything else.

Prices and what affects them
We work out each quote from:
- The serving time and how long we are on site
- Distance from us
- Plates or china
- How easy it is to reach the spot
Compare like for like: menu, sides, serving time, staff, plates and travel. The cheapest quote is not always the best value.
What we need to know
The more we know, the more accurate the quote. Useful details:
- Where the event is
- The date and time of the event
- Allergies we should know about
- Roughly how many people
Getting a quote is simple: tell us when, where, how many and what time you’d like to eat. You will get a clear quote listing what’s included. Send us your details through our quote form.
Working with your venue
If you are organising for someone else, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, tell us who our contact on the day will be. We will keep you both updated.
Many venues set rules for outside caterers, including where gas cooking is allowed. Check early, and pass on anything they need from us.
A hog roast or other catering?
Compared with a formal plated lunch, it’s less formal and normally costs less. Adding lamb, chicken, extra sides or china changes the price, so we list each one in the quote. Keeping it simple keeps it affordable.
What you get with us
- Served at the time you choose
- Slow-roasted at your venue, not reheated
- A choice of salads and potatoes
- Carved by our chef in front of your staff
See our prices page and the cost guide.
Planning the cooking spot
Before the day, it helps to think about where the roaster will go. The ideal spot has:
- Your site’s agreement to a gas-fired roaster
- A level spot in the car park, yard or grounds
- Someone to meet us at reception
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before you book.
