For event organisers in Ickford
Organisers may ask for documents such as a risk assessment or gas safety information. Tell us what you need and we will tell you what we can send.
Marquee suppliers usually set distances for cooking equipment, so tell them a hog roast is coming. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.
What comes off the roaster
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
Rolls or plates? Rolls are quicker; plates suit a sit-down meal, with gluten-free rolls on request.
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Not everyone eats meat, and halloumi skewers give them a proper hot option.

Prices and what affects them
Every booking is priced individually, and the price depends on a few things:
- How many people are eating
- Which meats and sides you choose
- Site access
- How long the roast and service take
Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. Slow roasting means we are on site for much of the day, which is built into the price.

The process
Rain does not stop the roast, because we cook under cover. It’s worth planning a sheltered place for people to eat, too. On a winter shoot near Ickford, the light goes by about 3:55pm, so a late lunch or wrap at base needs lighting. Summer shoots have daylight until about 9:25pm.
- Share the location details.
- We confirm where we set up.
- We roast under cover at base.
- We serve rolls or plates quickly.
- We tidy up and go.
Getting ready for the day
