For planners, venues and organisers
If the event is on someone else’s land, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
Marquee suppliers normally set distances for cooking equipment, so tell them a hog roast is coming. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.

Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for caterers; ask your venue. We’ll follow the site rules.

Tell us what your accounts team needs when you enquire, and we will explain the booking terms.
Do you cater open days with families?
Open days are a great fit, with chicken and vegetarian options for visitors.
Do you clear up?
We clear the serving area and pack away, leaving the spot as we found it.
Can we hire the machine and cook it ourselves?
Yes, we hire out the hog roast machine. We will confirm what comes with it and how to use it.
What do people get?
Rolls with roast pork, stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. You can add lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options, salads, coleslaw and potatoes.
Should I cook it myself?
