Planners, venues and businesses
Some venues add a fee for outside caterers, so it’s worth asking first. We’ll work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.
Marquee hire companies often have rules about cooking near their tents, so tell them a hog roast is coming. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.
Allergies and dietary needs
Some guests will not eat pork, so it’s worth adding an alternative. Helpful tips:
- Plates are easier for older guests than rolls
- Keep the alternatives labelled
- Tell us about vegetarians and vegans
- Halal isn’t offered, so arrange it separately
One contact for the day helps, so the immediate family is not disturbed.
Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed.
What the cooking area needs
The right spot for the roaster makes everything easier. Ideally:
- Approval from the landlord or committee
- A contact for the day who isn’t immediate family
- Parking close by for our vehicle
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before booking.
