Your questions about a hog roast for your event in Pittswood
Do you come out to small places like Pittswood?

Do you trade at school fairs around Pittswood?
Yes, with the school’s permission. Tell us the date and pitch details.
Can visitors buy their own food?
Both models are possible. We’ll agree what suits yours.

Plates are included. China is available at an extra cost.

How much room do you need?

Working with your venue
Booking for a club or group? One clear contact makes everything easier, especially on the day.
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. Get that agreed before booking.
DIY versus a catered hog roast
We also hire out the hog roast machine for confident cooks. You cook and carve it yourself; we’ll explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
You could roast a hog yourself, but it’s 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.
How it works
The roaster is gas-fired, so cooking does not depend on mains power. In December, Pittswood is dark by about 3:55pm, so plan lights for the stall and the queue.
- Start with the date and numbers.
- We agree how food will be paid for.
- We arrive and set up under cover.
- Carving keeps the queue moving.
- We clear up and go.
Getting ready for the day
- Give us final numbers a week or so before
- Tell us about narrow gates or side passages
- Give us a contact number for the day
Ask for a quote
A quote from us sets out the menu, timings, staffing and what’s included, so you can compare caterers fairly. Send us your details through our quote form.
