Planners, venues and businesses
Organisers may ask for documents such as a risk assessment or gas safety information. Let us know what your event requires and we’ll confirm what we can provide.
Marquee suppliers normally set distances for cooking equipment, so tell them a hog roast is coming. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.
Where the roaster can go in Hardwick
A hog roast cooks outdoors for hours, so the spot matters, so a few things are worth checking:
- Flat ground at the unit base
- The location manager’s agreement
- Somewhere for crew to eat if it rains

How the day works
On the day, we set up the roaster on the agreed spot, put the cover up and start the roast. It then roasts slowly for several hours, worked back from your serving time. On a winter shoot near Hardwick, the light goes by about 3:55pm, so a late lunch or wrap at base needs lighting. In summer, light lasts until about 9:25pm.
- We start with the location, call times and numbers.
- You get a check on access and a quote.
- We agree where we set up and when we arrive.
- When lunch is called, we carve and serve quickly.
- We pack up and leave the base tidy.
Getting ready for the day
- Choose a level, open spot outdoors for the roaster
- Measure the narrowest gate or passage
- Confirm numbers ahead of the day

What comes off the roaster
Spit-roast lamb
Lamb roasted on the spit is a lovely alternative to pork, especially for crew who do not eat pork.
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Crunchy coleslaw suits roast pork, and salads and new potatoes work well on a plate.
What a hog roast costs
Each price is built from:
- The journey to the venue
- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
- Crockery choices
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
The main driver is numbers: the price per head usually falls as numbers rise, since much of the cost is fixed.
What we need to know
Here’s what we’ll ask:
- Roughly how many people
- Any venue rules
- Allergies we should know about
- The date and when you’d like to eat
Numbers not final yet? A rough figure is fine for a first quote, and you can confirm nearer the time. Use our quote form.
