Should I cook it myself?

Full catering or machine hire? Catered means we do everything: roasting, carving, serving and clearing. With hire only, you do the cooking yourself.

Organising for someone else?
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so check before you book. We’ll liaise with them on access and set-up.
If the event is on someone else’s land, you’ll need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
What the cooking area needs
The roaster needs the right spot, because it cooks outside for several hours, so a few things are worth checking:
- Somewhere to park our vehicle
- A named contact for the day
- A level spot in the car park, yard or grounds
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Crackling
The skin crisps up over the hours of roasting, and we break it up so everyone gets a piece.
