What the cooking area needs
The cooking area is the main thing to plan. A quick checklist:

- Approval from facilities for gas equipment
- Clearance from the building and parked cars
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.

Full catering or machine hire?
Full catering or machine hire? With catering, our chef roasts, carves and serves, and our staff clear up. With hire only, you do the cooking yourself.
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is generally easier.

Looking after everyone
A hog roast is pork, so plan for anyone who does not eat it. Some ways to look after everyone:
- Tell us about vegetarians and vegans
- Keep alternatives clearly labelled
- Halal is not offered, so arrange it separately if needed
- Count anyone who doesn’t eat pork, for the alternatives
At the agreed time, our chef carves and our staff serve, so people get back to work on time.
China crockery is available for client events.
Prices and what affects them
There is no fixed price list, because every staff event is different. The main factors are:
- The date and time of year
- How many people are eating
- Crockery choices
- Menu choices and extras
Weekday and off-season dates can be easier to book, and the menu you choose matters too. Ask us and we’ll suggest the best fit for your budget.
What we need to know
These are the details we need:
- Any venue rules

How it works
The roaster cooks outdoors, under a gazebo on level ground, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches. We will agree the spot with you beforehand. For a staff lunch in Pipsden, daylight is not an issue, but a winter evening event is dark by about 3:55pm, so evening events need a lit cooking area. A summer after-work event has daylight until about 9:15pm.
- Start with the date, site and numbers.
- We sort access and send a quote.
- We roast on site.
- Service is fast once we carve.
- We leave the site clean.
How to prepare
- Confirm numbers ahead of the day
- Choose a level, open spot outdoors for the roaster
- Ensure we can wheel the roaster to the spot
