Why East Hampnett hosts choose us

Read our pricing and what a hog roast costs.
Before you choose a spot
A hog roast cooks outdoors for hours, so the spot matters, so a few things are worth checking:
- Cover for your guests in bad weather
- A level, open spot outdoors for the roaster
- The venue’s agreement to a gas-fired roaster
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.
