Daytime open days in Sulhamstead Abbots are rarely affected by light, though in winter it’s dark by about 4:00pm, so late events need lighting.

Planning help
Looking after everyone
A hog roast is pork, so plan for anyone who does not eat it. Some ways to look after everyone:
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed
- Tell us about vegetarians and vegans
- Count anyone who doesn’t eat pork, for the alternatives
- Ask staff about dietary needs in advance
On the day, we arrive early and set up where agreed, then roast through the morning.

A level, open area outdoors with room for the roaster, a gazebo and a carving table, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging trees. We’ll check it with you before booking.
What happens in bad weather?
The roaster is under cover, so a shower does not stop us. Your staff will want somewhere dry to eat.

Is a hog roast right for your staff event?
For client events, choose china, sides and lamb or chicken for a more polished feel. When comparing prices, compare the same things: the menu, sides, service time, staffing, crockery and travel. The cheapest quote is not always the best value.

Planners, venues and businesses
Marquee hire companies often have rules about cooking near their tents, so tell them a hog roast is coming. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so check before you book. We will work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.

Catered or do it yourself?
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you, especially outdoors.
You could roast a hog yourself, but it’s a long day’s work, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
Planning the cooking spot
The roaster needs the right spot, because it cooks outside for several hours, and a little planning goes a long way:
- Someone to meet us at reception
- Approval from facilities for gas equipment
- Flat ground in a car park or courtyard
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.
