For event organisers in Keston
If you’re a venue or event planner, we are happy to work alongside your team, sharing timings and a site plan.
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so check before you book. We will liaise with them on access and set-up.
The process
We take care of everything from the first hour of roasting to clearing away, so you can enjoy your shoot. Late-September shoots near Keston lose the light at about 7:05pm, so a late wrap needs lighting at base.
- Tell us the base location.
- We confirm where we set up.
- We roast under cover at base.
- Service is quick.
- We leave base tidy.
Before we arrive
- Make sure we can wheel the roaster to the spot
- Ask about allergies and dietary needs beforehand
- Tell us about narrow gates or side passages

Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Next to shop-bought sandwiches, a hot hog roast keeps morale up. Extras such as lamb, chicken, more sides or china crockery add to the cost, so we list each one in the quote. A simple menu keeps the cost down.

- Roasted on site, slowly, for hours
- Sides to make it a full meal

Planning the cooking spot
A good cooking spot makes the day run smoothly. Look for:
- Flat ground at the unit base
- Approval from locations
- A safe distance from kit
Keston is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and access can be tight: tell us about side or rear access, steps and parking for our vehicle.
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.
