For event organisers in Filchampstead
If you’re booking for a workplace, check with facilities about gas equipment and vehicle access. We work to the site’s rules.
Marquee suppliers generally set distances for cooking equipment, so tell them a hog roast is coming. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.
What a hog roast costs
Each booking is quoted on its own, and the price depends on a few things:
- Time on site
- Menu choices and extras
- Crockery choices
- Season and day of the week
Extras such as lamb, chicken, more sides or china crockery add to the cost, so we list each one in the quote. Keeping it simple keeps it affordable.
What we need to know
To check availability and the cooking area, we’ll need:
- What the outdoor space is like
- Any extras, such as lamb, chicken or china
- Dietary requirements
- Any venue rules
To get a quote, just tell us the date, where the shoot is and roughly how many. A picture of where the roaster could go helps us check the space. Send us your details through our quote form.
How it works
We roast under cover, so a shower won’t spoil the food. Your crew will still want somewhere dry to eat, such as a marquee, hall or barn. Because the roast starts early, and winter daylight in Filchampstead ends around 3:55pm, so we may set up under lights.
- Share the location details.
- We agree our position with locations.
- We roast under cover at base.
- We serve rolls or plates quickly.
- We tidy up and go.
Before we arrive
- Choose someone to meet us on arrival
