Planning an event in Bury?
Step by step
Here’s how the day normally runs: the roaster goes up and the hog goes on, the pork cooks slowly for hours, and we carve and serve at the agreed time. On a winter shoot near Bury, the light goes by about 4:00pm, so the unit base needs lighting for late service. In summer, light lasts until about 9:20pm.
- Production sends us the location and call times.
- We confirm access and send a price.
- We set up at base and roast through the morning.
- We serve when lunch is called.
- We pack away straight after.
Getting ready for the day
- Give us a contact number for the day
- Plan a step-free way in for the equipment
- Choose a level, open spot outdoors for the roaster

More for events in Bury
For planners, venues and organisers
Many venues set rules for outside caterers, from approved lists to where a gas roaster can go. Ask early, and pass on anything they need from us.
Marquee hire companies often have rules about cooking near their tents, so tell them a hog roast is coming. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.
Prices and what affects them
A few things make the biggest difference to the price:
- The journey to the venue
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
- Plates or china
- Which meats and sides you choose
Compare like for like: the menu, sides, service time, staffing, crockery and travel. The cheapest quote is not always the best value.
What we need to know
To check availability and the cooking area, we’ll need:
- A photo of the cooking area
- Any dietary needs or allergies
- Anything the venue has asked for
- Which meats and sides you’d like
We need a few details to quote: your date, your venue or postcode, how many people and any menu choices. Fill in our quote form.
Planning for dietary needs
Rolls and stuffing usually contain gluten, so ask for gluten-free rolls if you need them. Other tips:
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed
- Tell us about vegetarians and vegans
- Halal isn’t offered
- Ask the production office for dietary needs
We arrive early and set up at base, roasting through the morning.

Is a hog roast right for your shoot?
Some productions combine a hog roast with their usual caterer, for a wrap or a milestone. What you pay covers the meat, the chef and staff, and hours of roasting. A long, slow roast means an early start, which is built into the price.
