Working with your venue
If you are a venue or event planner, we can fit around your other suppliers.
For events on land you do not own, such as a park or field, you’ll need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
Step by step
It is a relaxed, well-organised set-up. We agree arrival and serving times in advance, use the cooking spot you’ve chosen, and roast, carve and serve without fuss. Late-December sunset in Little Posbrook is about 4:00pm, so an afternoon wake in winter needs lighting by the food. Summer wakes have daylight well into the evening.

Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
