Working with your venue
Marquee hire companies frequently have rules about cooking near their tents, so tell them a hog roast is coming. We’ll keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.
If the event is on someone else’s land, you will need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.

Is a hog roast right for your staff event?
Compared with sandwich platters, a hog roast is hot, fresh and feels like an event. The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, plus travel and access. There is no one-size price, so we quote each one individually.

Allergies and dietary needs
Standard rolls and stuffing contain gluten, so ask for gluten-free rolls if you need them. A few more tips:
- Stuffing generally contains gluten, so check the allergen list
- Put the allergen list where people can see it
- Request gluten-free rolls
- Label the vegetarian and vegan food
If the schedule moves, tell us: a cooked roast can be held for a while.
