Working with your venue
Marquee hire companies frequently have rules about cooking near their tents, so let them know about the roaster. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.
If you’re booking for a workplace, check with facilities about gas equipment and vehicle access. We’ll fit in with site rules.

Your questions about a hog roast for the crew in Bierley
What’s the nearest station to Bierley?
The closest is Shanklin station, roughly 5 miles away.
Do you come out to small places like Bierley?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
What about crew who don’t eat pork?
We can add lamb or chicken, plus halloumi skewers for vegetarians and a vegan burger or sausage. Halal meat is not something we offer.
Can you serve at our lunch call?
We work to your schedule, holding the roast if lunch moves.
What happens in bad weather?
Rain doesn’t stop the cooking. Somewhere covered for people to eat helps.
Do you need power or water?
Not to cook, because the roaster is gas-fired. Let us know what’s on site.
How long does a hog roast take to cook?
It depends on the size of the hog and the weather, but it’s several hours. We will confirm our arrival time when we quote.
How big a hog will we need?
The roast is chosen to suit how many you’re feeding, so a good estimate matters. We’ll confirm the menu in the quote.
