Organising for someone else?
For events on land you don’t own, such as a park or field, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
If you are booking for a workplace, ask your facilities team about outside caterers and gas cooking. We’ll fit in with site rules.
Looking after everyone
Some guests will not eat pork, so plan an alternative. A few pointers:
- Give us numbers for the alternatives
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed
- Ask close family about dietary needs
- Count anyone who doesn’t eat pork
Name a friend or relative as our contact, so the family can focus on guests.
Plates and sides make it a full meal.

The process
We arrive hours before you want to eat, because a whole hog takes hours to roast. Your guests will smell it long before they see it. Late-December sunset in Barns Green is about 3:55pm, so an afternoon wake in winter needs lighting by the food. Summer wakes have daylight well into the evening.
- Share the date, place and numbers.
- We reply quickly with a price.
- The roast cooks while you are at the service.
- Food is ready as guests gather.
- We pack up quietly.
Preparing for the day
- Ensure the cooking area is away from walls, tents and trees
- Plan a step-free way in for the equipment
- Tell us about narrow gates or side passages
