Planners, venues and businesses
For workplace bookings, ask your facilities team about outside caterers and gas cooking. We’ll fit in with site rules.
Marquee suppliers generally set distances for cooking equipment, so tell them a hog roast is coming. We’ll keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.
Allergies and dietary needs
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. A few tips:
- Ask the production office for dietary needs
- Keep vegetarian food labelled
- Stuffing typically contains gluten
- Tell us about vegetarians and vegans
A cooked roast can wait; just let us know.
Wrap parties can run into the evening.
The menu, dish by dish
Rotisserie chicken
Chicken off the rotisserie, carved or jointed can be served in a roll or on a plate.
Crackling
Good crackling needs time and heat, and a whole hog roasted slowly gets it just right.
The process
On the day, we set up the roaster on the agreed spot, put the cover up and start the roast. It then roasts slowly for several hours, timed so it’s ready when you want to eat. By late September, sunset near Clare Market is about 7:05pm, so plan lights for evening service.
- 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 carve fast on the lunch call.
- We clear our spot.
Getting ready for the day
- Gather dietary requirements early
- Keep the spot clear of buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches
- Think about shelter for your crew
