Planners, venues and businesses
For venues and planners, we’re happy to work alongside your team, sharing timings and a site plan.
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.
Before you choose a spot
Planning the cooking spot is the key. A quick checklist:
- Access agreed with locations
- The location manager’s agreement
- A level spot at base for the roaster
Long Ditton 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.

How the day works
Rain does not stop the roast, because we cook under cover. Your crew will still want somewhere dry to eat, such as a marquee, hall or barn. In December, daylight in Long Ditton ends around 3:55pm, so a late lunch or wrap at base needs lighting. In summer, light lasts until about 9:20pm.
- Send us the location, dates and lunch time.
- We check access to base and quote.
- The roast starts early.
- We serve when lunch is called.
- We pack away straight after.
How to prepare
- Plan somewhere sheltered for people to eat if it rains
- Pick a flat, open area outside for cooking
- Ask about allergies and dietary needs beforehand
How to get a price
