The process
The roaster cooks outdoors, under a gazebo on level ground, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches. We’ll agree the spot with you beforehand. Lunchtime bookings in Sandwich are in daylight all year; winter evening events are dark by about 3:50pm, 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 check with facilities and quote.
- We roast on site.
- Service is fast once we carve.
- We leave the site clean.
Before we arrive
- Check there is a route to wheel the equipment in, without steps
- Give us final numbers a week or so before
- Check there is nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat

Should I cook it myself?
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.
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.
Before you choose a spot
A hog roast cooks outdoors for hours, so the spot matters, so a few things are worth checking:
- A level spot in the car park, yard or grounds
- Vehicle access close to the cooking area
- Sign-off for outside caterers
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before you book.
