Planners, venues and businesses
For events on land you do not own, such as a park or field, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
Some venues add a fee for outside caterers, so check before you book. We’ll work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.

- We agree our position with locations.
- We roast under cover at base.
- Service is quick.

How big a hog will we need?
Quantities are based on your numbers, and we will talk it through when we quote.
When should we book?
The earlier the better for popular dates. But do ask even at short notice: send us your details through our quote form.
