Full catering or machine hire?
We also hire out the hog roast machine for confident cooks. You do the roasting and carving; we will confirm what comes with it when you ask.
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.
What happens on the day
On the day, we position the roaster under cover and get the hog cooking. It then roasts slowly for several hours, timed so it’s ready when you want to eat. Christmas fairs and lights switch-ons in Stroud are dark by about 4:00pm, so the pitch needs good lighting and a clear route for the queue.
- You tell us the event, the pitch and the expected crowd.
- You get a check on the date and pitch, and a quote.
- We arrive early, set up on the pitch and start roasting.
- We carve rolls to order as the queue moves.
- Afterwards we clear the pitch and go.
Before we arrive
- Collect dietary needs and allergies in advance
- Plan a step-free way in for the equipment
- Have a level outdoor spot ready
