Planning the cooking spot
The roaster needs the right spot, because it cooks outside for several hours, so a few things are worth checking:
- A level pitch with firm ground
- Access for our vehicle to the pitch
- A queuing area

Can you do a hog roast in Silwood Park?

Do you bring plates?
Plates are included. You can upgrade to china if you prefer.

Only the space and a contact number. We bring the roaster, cover and serving kit.
What do you need from the organiser?
Mainly a pitch and access. Everything else comes with us.
Can you cook inside a hall or marquee?

How it works
We take care of everything from the first hour of roasting to clearing away, so you can enjoy your event. For an autumn event in Cheapside, sunset is around 7:05pm in late September, so plan lighting if you’re trading into the evening.

- We check the pitch and any paperwork, then quote.
- We arrive early, set up on the pitch and start roasting.
- We carve rolls to order as the queue moves.
- We pack down, take our waste and leave the pitch clean.
Preparing for the day
- Measure the narrowest gate or passage
- Confirm numbers ahead of the day
- Pick a flat, open area outside for cooking
