Planners, venues and businesses
For venues and planners, we are happy to work alongside your team.
Many venues set rules for outside caterers, including where gas cooking is allowed. Check early, and tell us what they ask for.
Space, access and the venue
The roaster needs the right spot, because it cooks outside for several hours, so a few things are worth checking:
- A safe distance from kit
- A level spot at base for the roaster
- A named contact at base
South Hornchurch is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and access can be tight: let us know how we reach the cooking spot and where we can park.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.

How the day works
The roaster is gas-fired, so we do not need mains power to cook. Early starts matter for a hog roast at base, and in December South Hornchurch is dark by about 3:50pm, so we may set up under lights.
- Production sends us the location and call times.
- We check access to base and quote.
- We set up at base and roast through the morning.
- We carve fast on the lunch call.
- We pack away straight after.
Before we arrive
- Gather dietary requirements early
- Ensure the cooking area is away from walls, tents and trees
- Give us a contact number for the day
