Do you bring plates?
We bring plates as standard. If you’d like china, ask and we’ll add it to the quote.

The process
A hog roast is always cooked outside, on a level, open spot under cover, well clear of walls, tents and trees. We agree exactly where before the day. At midsummer, events in Oving stay light until about 9:20pm, so evening trading typically finishes in daylight in high summer. For winter events, dark by about 4:00pm, the pitch needs lighting.
- Share the date, site and expected crowds.
- We agree how food will be paid for.
- We arrive and set up under cover.
- We serve rolls quickly.
- We clear up and go.
Getting ready for the day
- Tell us about narrow gates or side passages
- Plan a step-free way in for the equipment
- Give us final numbers a week or so before
