Your questions about a hog roast for the crew in Colgate
Do you come out to small places like Colgate?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
Could you cook in Target Hill Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, typically the council, and many parks do not allow cooking. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
Do you go to remote locations?
Share the route to base and we will plan the journey.
Will there be enough to go round?
Quantities are based on your numbers, and we’ll talk it through when we quote.
What should we sort out beforehand?
Only the space and a contact number. We bring the roaster, cover and serving kit.
How long does a hog roast take to cook?
Several hours, depending on the size and the weather, so we arrive well before you want to eat. We work back from your serving time.
What space does the roaster need?
A flat, open spot outside, plus a step-free route to wheel the equipment in. Send us a photo if you’re unsure.
Can we just hire the roaster?
Yes, for confident cooks. We’ll explain the details with your quote.
The menu, dish by dish
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Not everyone eats meat, so halloumi and vegetable skewers make sure they’re not left with just salad.
Spit-roast lamb
Spit-roast lamb cooks slowly like the hog, and it’s carved the same way.

Organising for someone else?
If the event is on someone else’s land, you’ll need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
Marquee hire companies often have rules about cooking near their tents, so let them know about the roaster. We will keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.
How the day works
We cook on a gas-fired roaster, so we don’t need mains power to cook, though a socket nearby is handy for lighting. Late-September shoots near Colgate lose the light at about 7:05pm, so a late wrap needs lighting at base.
- We start with the location, call times and numbers.
- We check access to base and quote.
- We agree where we set up and when we arrive.
- When lunch is called, we carve and serve quickly.
- We pack away straight after service.
Getting ready for the day
- Ask about allergies and dietary needs beforehand
- Think about shelter for your crew
- Keep the spot clear of buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches
