Working with your venue
For events on land you don’t own, such as a park or field, you’ll need the landowner’s permission for 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 will work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.
What affects the price in Town Row
We work out each quote from:
- The date and time of year
- How many people are eating
- How easy it is to reach the spot
- Which meats and sides you choose
Weekday and off-season dates can be easier to book, and the menu you choose matters too. Tell us your budget and we will suggest what works.
What we need to know
When you enquire, please mention:
- The venue or postcode
- Any dietary needs or allergies
- Which meats and sides you’d like
- Roughly how many people
Planning ahead? Popular dates fill up early, especially summer Saturdays and December Fridays. Send us your date for a quote: use our quote form.
Looking after everyone
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. A few tips:
- Stuffing normally contains gluten
- Label the alternatives clearly
- Ask the production office for dietary needs
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed
We get to base first thing, so the roast is ready by lunch.
A second meat widens the menu.
Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Some productions combine a hog roast with their usual caterer. Compare like for like: menu, sides, serving time, staff, plates and travel. A cheaper headline price can leave things out.
Why us?
- Rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- A clear quote with everything listed
- Slow-roasted at your venue, not reheated
- Lamb, chicken and vegetarian options alongside
Read our pricing and what a hog roast costs.
The process
Service is quick once we start carving: our chef carves and our staff fill the rolls or plates, with the sides served alongside. When everyone has eaten, we clear up and leave the spot tidy. Early starts matter for a hog roast at base, and winter daylight in Town Row ends around 3:55pm, so we may set up under lights.
- You send the location, date and lunch call.
- We check access to base and quote.
- Our position and arrival are agreed in advance.
- We carve to order the moment lunch is called.
- We pack away straight after service.
Getting ready for the day
- Think about shelter for your crew
- Name a contact for the day
- Tell us about narrow gates or side passages
