For planners, venues and organisers
Some venues add a fee for outside caterers, so it’s worth asking first. We will work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.
Venues often have rules for outside caterers, from approved lists to where a gas roaster can go. Ask early, and tell us what they ask for.

- Whether you want china
- Numbers
- Access to the cooking area
Compare like for like: the menu, sides, service time, staffing, crockery and travel. A cheaper headline price can leave things out.

New Yatt questions
We are gathering after a service at St Mary's Church: can you cater?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Churches rarely have space for a hog roast, so the food is generally elsewhere. Send us the address.
What’s the nearest station to New Yatt?
The closest is Finstock station, roughly 2.7 miles away.
Can you be flexible on serving time?
Because the roast takes hours, we plan from your serving time, and we can hold the roast for a while if the day runs behind.
Do we need our own staff?
We carve and serve for you, and we clear up when service is finished.
What do we need to organise?
Just the venue, rough numbers and a contact for the day. We will handle the rest.
Where can you serve a wake?
Wherever the family gathers, if the roaster can cook outside.
How do you work out quantities?
The roast is chosen to suit how many you are feeding, so tell us your best estimate. We’ll confirm the menu in the quote.
Can we just hire the roaster?
Yes, we hire out the hog roast machine. We will explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
Step by step
The roaster cooks outdoors, under a gazebo on level ground, well clear of walls, tents and trees. We’ll agree the spot with you beforehand. Most wakes in New Yatt are held in the afternoon, which is daylight for most of the year, but by late December it is dark at about 3:55pm.
