A hog roast near Ravenstone
Step by step
Rain doesn’t stop the roast, because we cook under cover. Your crew will still want somewhere dry to eat, such as a marquee, hall or barn. On a winter shoot near Ravenstone, the light goes by about 3:50pm, so the unit base needs lighting for late service. In summer, light lasts until about 9:25pm.
- We start with the location, call times and numbers.
- You get a check on access and a quote.
- Our position and arrival are agreed in advance.
- We roast through the morning and carve fast when lunch is called.
- We pack up and leave the base tidy.
Getting ready for the day

Working with your venue
Venues frequently have rules for outside caterers, from approved lists to where a gas roaster can go. Check early, and pass on anything they need from us.
Organisers may ask for documents such as a risk assessment or gas safety information. Tell us what you need and we’ll tell you what we can send.
How we price a hog roast for the crew
We work out each quote from:
- How easy it is to reach the spot
- Crockery choices
- The number of people
- Which meats and sides you choose
What you pay covers the meat, the chef and staff, and hours of roasting. A long, slow roast means an early start, which is built into the price.
What to tell us
These are the details we need:
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- Any extras, such as lamb, chicken or china
- Roughly how many people
- Any dietary needs or allergies
The quickest way to get a price is to send us your date, venue and numbers. A picture of where the roaster could go helps us check the space. Fill in our quote form.
Planning the cooking spot
The roaster needs the right spot, because it cooks outside for several hours, and a little planning goes a long way:
- A named contact at base
- Clearance from trucks, kit and trees
- Access agreed with locations
Not sure about the cooking spot? Send us a photo and we will tell you honestly.
