Planners, venues and businesses
Marquee hire companies frequently have rules about cooking near their tents, so let them know about the roaster. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.
For events on land you do not own, such as a park or field, you’ll need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
How we price a hog roast for the crew
Each booking is quoted on its own, based on a few main things:
- Menu choices and extras
- Access to the cooking area

- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
Compare like for like: menu, sides, serving time, staff, plates and travel. The cheapest quote is not always the best value.
