Planners, venues and businesses
Organisers may ask for documents such as a risk assessment or gas safety information. Let us know what your event requires and we will confirm what we can provide.
If you are a venue or event planner, we are happy to work alongside your team.
Should I cook it myself?
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.
How the day works
We get there well ahead of service, because a whole hog takes hours to roast. Your visitors will smell it long before they see it. In December, Larkfield is dark by about 3:50pm, so the pitch needs good lighting and a clear route for the queue.
- Start with the date and numbers.
- We agree how food will be paid for.
- We arrive and set up under cover.
- We serve rolls quickly.
- We tidy the pitch.
Preparing for the day
- Choose someone to meet us on arrival
- Collect dietary needs and allergies in advance
- Have a level outdoor spot ready
