For event organisers in Duncton
If the event is on someone else’s land, you’ll need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
Marquee hire companies often have rules about cooking near their tents, so let them know about the roaster. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.

How it works
A hog roast is always cooked outside, under a gazebo on level ground, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches. We agree exactly where before the day. In winter, it’s dark in Duncton by about 4:00pm, so for an afternoon wake, light near the serving area and the door helps. Summer wakes have daylight well into the evening.
- It starts with the date, venue and when people are expected.
- We confirm availability and send a price.
- The roast cooks while the service is under way.
- We serve when everyone arrives, calmly and without fuss.
- We clear away discreetly.
Before we arrive
- Pick a flat, open area outside for cooking
- Give us final numbers a week or so before
- Plan a step-free way in for the equipment
