Can you set up at the unit base?
Normally, if there is a level, open spot for the roaster under cover. Locations will confirm the spot.

Working with your venue
Marquee suppliers typically set distances for cooking equipment, so tell them a hog roast is coming. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.
Venues frequently have rules for outside caterers, from approved lists to where a gas roaster can go. Check early, and tell us what they ask for.
The menu, dish by dish
Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
Our vegan option is a vegan burger or sausage, served in a roll with salads.
Crackling
Crackling takes hours to get right, which is exactly what a slow hog roast gives it.
The process
The secret is time: hours of gentle heat make the pork soft and juicy while the skin crisps into crackling. Then it rests briefly before our chef carves. By late September, sunset near Bowlhead Green is about 7:05pm, so plan lights for evening service.
