Planners, venues and businesses
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so it is worth asking first. We will work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.
For events on land you do not own, such as a park or field, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
Slutshole questions
What about windy coastal sites?
Yes. Wind is something we plan for: a sheltered spot and secure cover.
Do you come out to small places like Slutshole?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
Do you need much space at base?
A level outdoor spot clear of trucks and kit, agreed with locations.
Do you serve the food?
No need for your own staff: we carve, serve and tidy up.
How big a hog will we need?
The roast is chosen to suit how many you’re feeding, so tell us your best estimate. The quote sets it out.
How long does a hog roast take to cook?
Hours rather than minutes. You’ll know our arrival time in advance.
How far ahead should we book?
As early as you can for summer weekends and December. For other dates, a few weeks can be enough. Ask and we will check.
Do you clear up?
We pack everything away after service, and we take our equipment with us.
Allergies and dietary needs
Not everyone eats pork, so plan an alternative. A few pointers:
- Post allergen details at base
- Plan separately for halal if needed
- Give us vegetarian and vegan numbers
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed
A cooked roast can wait.
Ask for gluten-free rolls.
