Planners, venues and businesses
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.
If the event is on someone else’s land, you will need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.

Oakley is roughly 38 miles from central London, within easy reach for London-based crews. Among the historic houses close to Oakley are Adwell House (3.2 miles west).

How it works
On the day, we set up the roaster on the agreed spot, put the cover up and start the roast. It then roasts slowly for several hours, worked back from your serving time. In December, daylight in Oakley ends around 3:55pm, so the unit base needs lighting for late service. In summer, light lasts until about 9:25pm.
- Send us the location, dates and lunch time.
- We check access to base and quote.
- We set up at base and roast through the morning.
- We carve fast on the lunch call.
- We clear our spot.
How to prepare
- Ensure we can wheel the roaster to the spot
- Ensure the cooking area is away from walls, tents and trees
- Measure the narrowest gate or passage
