How far ahead should we book?
Summer Saturdays and December book up first. For other dates, a few weeks can be enough. Ask and we will check.

Numbers, menu and travel decide the price. Send us the details and we’ll quote.

How do we prepare?
Only the space and a contact number. Everything for roasting and serving comes with us.

- If anyone needs halal food, plan a separate option
- Request gluten-free rolls for coeliac guests

Catered or do it yourself?
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.
We also hire out the hog roast machine for confident cooks. You cook and carve it yourself; we will explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
Space, access and the venue
The roaster needs the right spot, because it cooks outside for several hours, so a few things are worth checking:
- Flat outdoor ground for the roaster and a gazebo
- Nothing overhead that could catch the heat
- A way to wheel the roaster to the spot
Not sure about the cooking spot? Send us a picture and we will tell you honestly.
