Planners, venues and businesses
For events on land you don’t own, such as a park or field, you’ll need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
Some venues add a fee for outside caterers, so check before booking. We’ll work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.
Hog roast for events in Myrke, carved to order
Festivals and shows run for hours, and a hog roast can serve through the day, carving as the queue grows. Popular choices include rotisserie chicken, halloumi skewers and crackling, and we are regularly asked to cater fundraising events and fun runs and sports events.
At a field event near Myrke, power and water may be limited; we cook on gas, so we do not need mains power. Everything we need to roast, carve and serve comes with us, and we leave the spot tidy when we go.

How it works
From setting up to the last roll, we look after the food, so you can enjoy your event. For an autumn event in Myrke, sunset is around 7:05pm in late September, so evening trading needs lights.
- 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 and serve through the agreed hours.
- Afterwards we clear the pitch and go.
Preparing for the day
- Name a contact for the day
- Check there’s a route to wheel the equipment in, without steps
- Make sure the cooking area is away from walls, tents and trees
