Working with your venue
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.
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so check before booking. We will work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.
Looking after everyone
Not everyone eats pork, so it’s worth adding an alternative. Helpful tips:
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed
- Post allergen details at base
- Halal is not offered
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten

How the day works
The roaster cooks outdoors, on a level, open spot under cover, well clear of walls, tents and trees. We agree exactly where before the day. On a winter shoot near Donnington, the light goes by about 4:00pm, so the unit base needs lighting for late service. Summer shoots have daylight until about 9:20pm.
- We start with the location, call times and numbers.
- We check the route and send a price.
- Our position and arrival are agreed in advance.
- When lunch is called, we carve and serve quickly.
- We pack up and leave the base tidy.
How to prepare
- Plan somewhere sheltered for people to eat if it rains
- Make sure we can wheel the roaster to the spot
- Have a level outdoor spot ready
