Your questions about a hog roast for the crew in Denton
What about windy coastal sites?
Yes. We roast under cover and choose a sheltered spot where we can.
Can you do a hog roast at a venue in the South Downs National Park?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about cooking and vehicles, so check with yours. We’ll work to whatever the site needs.
Can you cater in Denton?
Yes, Denton is in our area. Tell us the venue or postcode and we will check the date.
What space does the roaster need?
A flat, open spot outside, and a way to wheel everything in. Send us a picture if you are unsure.
How long does a hog roast take to cook?
Several hours, depending on the size and the weather, which is why we arrive hours ahead. We work back from your serving time.
Do we need to provide electricity?
The roaster runs on gas, so we do not need mains power to cook. A socket nearby is useful for lighting.
Can you cook inside a hall or marquee?
Outside, always. The food can be carried in and served indoors where the venue allows.
Do you go to remote locations?
Usually, with good directions and access details. Let us know about the route.

Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)

How it works
Here’s how the day generally runs: we arrive, set up under cover and start roasting, the pork cooks slowly for hours, and our chef carves it when you’re ready. In December, daylight in Denton ends around 3:55pm, so a late lunch or wrap at base needs lighting. Summer shoots have daylight until about 9:15pm.
- Share the location details.
- We agree our position with locations.
- We cook at base.
- Service is quick.
- We tidy up and go.
Getting ready for the day
- Name a contact for the day
- Check there is nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat
- Measure the narrowest gate or passage
