Working with your venue
If the event is on someone else’s land, you will need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
Some venues add a fee for outside caterers, so it is worth asking first. We will liaise with them on access and set-up.

About 63 miles from central London, and well within our area.
Do you do wrap parties?
We do. Tell us the date and location.
What about crew who do not eat pork?
We can add lamb or chicken, plus halloumi skewers for vegetarians and a vegan burger or sausage. We don’t provide halal meat.

Send us your requirements, and we will confirm what we can provide.

A hog roast compared with other options
Compared with a full location caterer, a hog roast suits single days and smaller crews. Extras such as lamb, chicken, more sides or china crockery add to the cost, so each one is itemised. Keeping it simple keeps it affordable.
