Planners, venues and businesses
Many venues set rules for outside caterers, from approved lists to where a gas roaster can go. Check early, and pass on anything they need from us.
Marquee hire companies often have rules about cooking near their tents, so let them know about the roaster. We’ll keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.
Corporate hog roast in Woodcote, carved to order
Workplaces have rules, and we work to them: access, gas cooking and the cooking area. Pass on your site’s requirements. Whether it’s staff thank-you lunches and team days and away days, we will put together a menu of halloumi skewers, coleslaw and hog roast rolls for your staff.
Around Woodcote, workplace bookings tend to use car parks, yards and courtyards. Get facilities’ approval for gas cooking early. We bring plates as standard, and china crockery is available on request, quoted separately.

What happens on the day
The roaster is gas-fired, so we do not need mains power to cook; a nearby socket helps with lights if service runs into the evening. Daytime open days in Woodcote are rarely affected by light, though in winter it’s dark by about 3:55pm, so late events need lighting.
