Catered or do it yourself?
You could roast a hog yourself, but it is a long day’s work, from early set-up to carving at the end. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.
Working with your venue
For workplace bookings, check with facilities about gas equipment and vehicle access. We work to the site’s rules.
If you’re planning an event on someone’s behalf, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, let us know who we’ll deal with on the day. We will keep you both updated.
Space, access and the venue
It’s worth planning the cooking area in advance. We look for:
- Space for people to queue
- Event approval for hot-food traders
- A level pitch with firm ground
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before booking.
