A hog roast compared with other options
Next to a full location catering unit, a hog roast suits single days and smaller crews. For larger numbers, a hog roast is generally good value, since one roast goes a long way. Extras, china and longer service add to it.

For planners, venues and organisers
Marquee hire companies frequently have rules about cooking near their tents, so tell them a hog roast is coming. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.
If you are a venue or event planner, we are happy to work alongside your team.
Space, access and the venue
The roaster needs space, cover and a safe distance from anything that could catch the heat. Things to check:
- Approval from locations
- Vehicle access to base
- Clearance from trucks, kit and trees
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before you book.
