Planners, venues and businesses
Marquee suppliers typically set distances for cooking equipment, so tell them a hog roast is coming. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so it is worth asking first. We will work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.

A few things make the biggest difference to the price:
- Numbers
- Plates or china
- Menu choices and extras
- Season and day of the week
The main driver is numbers: bigger groups typically cost less per head, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.

Where does the hog roast go?
Roughly the footprint of a gazebo or two, on level ground, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging trees. We will check it with you before booking.

Cooking is gas-fired, so no mains power is needed for the roast. Power can help with lighting after dark.
