What happens on the day
Your timings come first. If the day runs behind, we can hold the cooked roast for a while before carving, so keep us posted on the day. Summer events in Fern have daylight until about 9:25pm at midsummer and about 7:05pm by late September, so evening trading normally finishes in daylight in high summer. For winter events, dark by about 3:55pm, the pitch needs lighting.
- It starts with your event date, site and expected numbers.
- You get a check on the date and pitch, and a quote.
- We arrive early, set up on the pitch and start roasting.
- We serve to order through the event.
- We pack down, take our waste and leave the pitch clean.
Before we arrive
- Give us final numbers a week or so before
- Check there’s nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat
- Let us know about tight access

- Let us know if many visitors are vegetarian
- Put the menu and allergen information on display
- Plan separately for halal if needed
Give us a contact on the day, especially for big events.

DIY versus a catered hog roast
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
We also hire out the hog roast machine for confident cooks. You do the roasting and carving; we will confirm what comes with it when you ask.
Where the roaster can go in Fern
A hog roast cooks outdoors for hours, so the spot matters, so a few things are worth checking:
- Event approval for hot-food traders
- Your trader requirements
