A hog roast near Hyde
How the day works
It’s a relaxed, well-organised set-up. We agree arrival and serving times in advance, use the cooking spot you’ve chosen, and roast, carve and serve without fuss. In December, Hyde is dark by about 4:00pm, so the pitch needs good lighting and a clear route for the queue.
- You tell us the event, the pitch and the expected crowd.
- We check access to the pitch and send a price.
- We set up early so the roast is ready when visitors arrive.
- We carve rolls to order as the queue moves.
- We pack up and leave the pitch tidy.
How to prepare
- Gather dietary requirements early
- Plan a step-free way in for the equipment
- Make sure the cooking area is away from walls, tents and trees

The main driver is numbers: bigger groups generally cost less per head, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.
