How it works
Your timings come first. If the day runs behind, a cooked roast can be kept hot for a while, so keep us posted on the day. For an autumn event in Oving, sunset is around 7:05pm in late September, so evening trading needs lights.
- It starts with your event date, site and expected numbers.
- You get a check on the date and pitch, and a quote.
- We set up early so the roast is ready when visitors arrive.
- We serve to order through the event.
- We pack up and leave the pitch tidy.
Preparing for the day
- Collect dietary needs and allergies in advance
- Give us final numbers a week or so before
- Measure the narrowest gate or passage

What a hog roast costs
The biggest factors are:
- Numbers
- Menu choices and extras
- Distance from us
- The date and time of year
Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. Slow roasting means we’re on site for much of the day, which is built into the price.
