At country workplaces around Tapnage, we can cook in the yard. Let us know about tracks and gates. Everything we need to roast, carve and serve comes with us, and we pack away and leave the area as we found it.

Looking after everyone
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. A few tips:
- Share the allergen information with the team
- Keep alternatives clearly labelled
- Count anyone who doesn’t eat pork, for the alternatives
- Tell us about vegetarians and vegans
Give us a contact on site for the day.
Gluten-free rolls are available on request.
Working with your venue
Event organisers often ask caterers for paperwork such as a risk assessment. Tell us what you need and we will confirm what we can provide.
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so it’s worth asking first. We’ll work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.
DIY versus a catered hog roast
If you’re confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You cook and carve it yourself; we will confirm what comes with it when you ask.
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.
