Full catering or machine hire?
If you are confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You do the roasting and carving; we’ll explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.
Before you choose a spot
The roaster needs the right spot, because it cooks outside for several hours, and a little planning goes a long way:
- A contact on site
- A covered area or canteen for wet weather
- Space away from buildings, vehicles and trees
Not sure about the cooking spot? Send us a photo and we will tell you honestly before you book.

How do you work out quantities?
We plan quantities from the numbers you give us, and we will confirm everything in writing.
Do we need to provide electricity?
The roaster runs on gas, so we do not need mains power to cook. Power can help with lighting after dark.

On the day, we position the roaster under cover and get the hog cooking. It then roasts slowly for several hours, timed so it’s ready when you want to eat. Evening staff events in Purbrook Heath need light after sunset: about 9:20pm in June, 7:10pm in late September and 4:00pm in December.
