A closer look at the menu
Rotisserie chicken
For crew who don’t eat pork, rotisserie chicken is the easy answer, and children normally like it too.
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Vegetarians get halloumi and vegetable skewers, so they get something hot and satisfying too.

Working with your venue
Marquee suppliers usually set distances for cooking equipment, so tell them a hog roast is coming. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.

Prices and what affects them
Here’s what affects the price:
- How long the roast and service take
- Site access
- The date and time of year
- The number of people
For larger numbers, a hog roast is normally good value, because one whole roast feeds a lot of people. Extras, china and longer service add to it.
What we need to know
To check availability and the cooking area, we will need:
- Any extras, such as lamb, chicken or china
- Where the roaster could go, ideally with a photo
- Rough numbers
- Any dietary needs or allergies

How it works
It is a relaxed, well-organised set-up. We agree arrival and serving times in advance, set up where we’ve agreed, and get on with roasting and serving. Early starts matter for a hog roast at base, and in December Womenswold is dark by about 3:50pm.
- 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 serve when lunch is called.
- We clear our spot.
How to prepare
- Plan a step-free way in for the equipment
- Check there’s nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat
- Choose a level, open spot outdoors for the roaster
