- We agree how food will be paid for.
- We roast on the pitch.
- We serve rolls quickly.
- We tidy the pitch.
Getting ready for the day

Planning help
Planners, venues and businesses
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so it’s worth asking first. We will work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.
For workplace bookings, check with facilities about gas equipment and vehicle access. We will fit in with site rules.
DIY versus a catered hog roast
A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is generally easier.
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
Planning for dietary needs
Some visitors won’t eat pork, so plan an alternative. A few pointers:
- Balance the food line-up
- Stuffing normally contains gluten
- Tell us if there’s a vegetarian or vegan focus
- Signpost the stall clearly
We serve as the queue moves.
The vegan option is popular at festivals.
