For event organisers in Romford
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so it is worth asking first. We’ll liaise with them on access and set-up.
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.
How it works
On the day, we position the roaster under cover and get the hog cooking. From there it cooks low and slow for hours, worked back from your serving time. Summer shoots near Romford have light until about 9:20pm, so a wrap party can run into the evening.
- Tell us the base location.
- We confirm where we set up.
- We cook at base.
- Service is quick.
- We leave base tidy.
Preparing for the day
- Check there is a route to wheel the equipment in, without steps
- Keep the spot clear of buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches
- Measure the narrowest gate or passage
