For event organisers in Pinner
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so it’s worth asking first. We will liaise with them on access and set-up.
For events on land you don’t own, such as a park or field, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
What comes off the roaster
Rotisserie chicken
Golden rotisserie chicken can be served in a roll or on a plate alongside the pork.
Roast pork
The hog roasts slowly for hours, so the meat is tender and juicy, and it is carved fresh as people come up.
Allergies and dietary needs
Allergies and dietary needs are easy to manage if we know in advance. Some ideas:
- Collect crew dietary needs from the call sheet
- Stuffing usually contains gluten
- Tell us who does not eat pork
- Keep vegetarian food labelled
We work to the location’s rules.
Ask for gluten-free rolls.
What happens on the day
A hog roast is always cooked outside, on a level, open spot under cover, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches. We’ll agree the spot with you beforehand.

- We agree our position with locations.
- We cook at base.
- Service is quick.
- We leave base tidy.
Preparing for the day
