Step by step
The roaster cooks outdoors, on a level, open spot under cover, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches. We will agree the spot with you beforehand. Summer events in Townhill Park have daylight until about 9:25pm at midsummer and about 7:10pm by late September, which helps evening trading. For winter events, dark by about 4:00pm, the pitch needs lighting.
- Organisers send us the date, site, numbers and how food will be paid for.
- We check access to the pitch and send a price.
- On the day we set up under cover and get the hog on.
- We carve and serve through the agreed hours.
- Afterwards we clear the pitch and go.
Preparing for the day
- Pick a flat, open area outside for cooking
- Let us know about tight access
- Ensure the cooking area is away from walls, tents and trees

Event organisers frequently ask caterers for paperwork such as a risk assessment. Tell us what you need and we will confirm what we can provide.
