Working with your venue
Organisers may ask for documents such as a risk assessment or gas safety information. Let us know what your event requires and we will confirm what we can provide.
Marquee suppliers generally set distances for cooking equipment, so tell them a hog roast is coming. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
A hog roast is pork, so plan for anyone who doesn’t eat it. Some ways to look after everyone:

Is Ash Green close to London?
Roughly 32 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
What if it rains?

How big a hog will we need?
We plan quantities from the numbers you give us, and we will confirm everything in writing.

Hours rather than minutes. You’ll know our arrival time in advance.

Add lamb, chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers or a vegan option. We don’t offer halal meat.
