Working with your venue
For workplace bookings, ask your facilities team about outside caterers and gas cooking. We’ll fit in with site rules.
Marquee hire companies often have rules about cooking near their tents, so tell them a hog roast is coming. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.

- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten
- Post allergen details at base
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed
- Tell us about vegetarians and vegans
We arrive early and set up at base, so the roast is ready by lunch.

Planning the cooking spot
Before the day, it helps to think about where the roaster will go. The ideal spot has:
- One contact for the day
- A route for our vehicle
- A safe distance from kit
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before you book.
Popular choices

- Stuffing and apple sauce
- Halloumi skewers (V)
- Vegan option (Ve)
- Spit-roast lamb

Step by step
The roaster is gas-fired, so we don’t need mains power to cook; a nearby socket helps with lights if service runs into the evening. Summer shoots near Leverton have light until about 9:25pm, which suits an evening wrap at base.
