Planners, venues and businesses
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.
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so it’s worth asking first. We’ll work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.
How the day works
The roaster cooks outdoors, on a level, open spot under cover, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches. We agree exactly where before the day. By late September, sunset near Stedham is about 7:05pm, so a late wrap needs lighting at base.
- Production sends us the location and call times.
- We check access to base and quote.
- The roast starts early.
- We serve when lunch is called.
- We pack away straight after.
Getting ready for the day
- Name a contact for the day
- Have a covered area for eating in case of rain
- Confirm numbers ahead of the day

Is Stedham too small for a hog roast?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
How much does a hog roast cost?
Numbers, menu and travel decide the price. Tell us your date and we’ll send a price.

A level, open area outdoors with room for the roaster, a gazebo and a carving table, well clear of walls, tents and branches. We will check it with you before booking.

At base, on level ground. We’ll agree it with your location manager.

Why choose a hog roast in Stedham?
Compared with a full location caterer, a hog roast is simpler and suits smaller shoots and one-off days. 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.
