Events anywhere in RH14 start with an outdoor spot for the roaster and a serving time. Your event could be at a house on Oakside, Poplar Walk and Maple Drive, as long as there is somewhere outside to cook. If your venue is just outside Kirdford, we also cover Mackerel's Common (1 mile north), Balls Cross (2 miles west), Wisborough Green (2 miles east), Plaistow (2 miles north) and Ifold (2 miles north).

Should I cook it myself?
You could roast a hog yourself, but it is a long day’s work, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
If you are confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You do the roasting and carving; we will explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
