- A safe distance from walls and vehicles
- Flat ground in a car park or courtyard
- A named contact for the day

Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for caterers; ask your venue. We’ll follow the site rules.
What if our house in Maypole has no side access?
It depends on access: a rear gate or yard generally works. Send us a picture and we’ll tell you honestly.
Is a hog roast smart enough for clients?

What’s the price?
Each event is priced on its own, based on numbers, menu, service time and distance. Tell us about your staff event for a quote.
How big a hog will we need?
Quantities are based on your numbers, and we will talk it through when we quote.

A level, open area outdoors with room for the roaster, a gazebo and a carving table, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging trees. We’ll confirm the space with your quote.
How far ahead should we book?

Catered or do it yourself?
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.
A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.
Looking after everyone
Rolls and stuffing usually contain gluten, so ask for gluten-free rolls if you need them. Other tips:
- Plan separately for anyone who needs halal food
- Share the allergen information with the team
- Label the vegetarian and vegan food
- Request gluten-free rolls
We serve on time, so people get back to work on time.
If it is a themed open day, tell us and we will fit in.

Lunchtime bookings in Maypole are in daylight all year; winter evening events are dark by about 3:55pm, so evening events need a lit cooking area. Summer events have daylight until around 9:20pm.
