Organising for someone else?
Venues often have rules for outside caterers, including where gas cooking is allowed. Check early, and pass on anything they need from us.
If the event is on someone else’s land, you’ll need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.

The closest is East Farleigh station, roughly 1.4 miles away.
What about locations off the beaten track?
We can, given access details. Tell us about tracks and ground.
Will there be enough to go round?
Quantities are based on your numbers, and we’ll confirm everything in writing.
How much room do you need?
Enough level ground outdoors for the roaster and a serving table under cover, plus a step-free route to wheel the equipment in. A picture helps.

Do you serve the food?
Our chef carves and our staff serve, then clear the serving area afterwards.
What if things run late?
Because the roast takes hours, we plan from your serving time, and a cooked roast can be held for a while if things run late.

Is a hog roast right for your shoot?
Compared with ordering in, a hog roast at base is ready on the call. The main driver is numbers: the price per head generally falls as numbers rise, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.

What we serve, dish by dish
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
Rolls make a hog roast easy to eat anywhere. We can bring gluten-free rolls if you ask.
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Salads, new potatoes, coleslaw and roast or jacket potatoes turn rolls into a full meal, especially at a sit-down event.
How the day works
Your timings come first. If the day runs behind, a cooked roast can be kept hot for a while, so keep us posted on the day. Because the roast starts early, and in December West Farleigh is dark by about 3:50pm, so we may set up under lights.
