Working with your venue
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 typically set distances for cooking equipment, so tell them a hog roast is coming. We will keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.
Looking after everyone
Not everyone eats pork, so plan an alternative. A few pointers:
- Collect crew dietary needs from the call sheet
- Give us vegetarian and vegan numbers
- Share the allergen list with the crew
- Count crew needing an alternative
We arrive early and set up at base, roasting through the morning.
Ask for gluten-free rolls.
How it works
A typical booking goes like this: the roaster goes up and the hog goes on, the roast cooks gently through the day, and our chef carves it when you’re ready. Late-September shoots near Hinxhill lose the light at about 7:00pm, so plan lights for evening service.
- Production sends us the location and call times.
- We check access to base and quote.
- We set up at base and roast through the morning.
- We carve fast on the lunch call.
- We pack away straight after.
Getting ready for the day
- Let us know about tight access
- Have a level outdoor spot ready
- Check there is a route to wheel the equipment in, without steps
