Near Grayshott, base may be a field or yard, so ground conditions matter. We bring plates as standard, and china crockery is available on request, quoted separately.
Planning the cooking spot
A hog roast cooks outdoors for hours, so the spot matters, and a little planning goes a long way:
- The location manager’s agreement
- Access agreed with locations
- A contact in production

Working with your venue
Booking for a club or group? One clear contact makes everything easier, particularly when timings shift.
Marquee hire companies frequently have rules about cooking near their tents, so let them know about the roaster. We’ll keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.
Planning for dietary needs
Rolls and stuffing typically contain gluten, so ask for gluten-free rolls if you need them. A few more tips:
- Post allergen details at base
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten
- Ask the production office for dietary needs
- Tell us who doesn’t eat pork
Name a contact for the day, generally locations or the production office.
Ask for gluten-free rolls.
