For event organisers in Bachelor's Bump
Marquee suppliers typically set distances for cooking equipment, so let them know about the roaster. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.
If you’re planning an event on someone’s behalf, whether you’re a planner, a PA or on a committee, let us know who we will deal with on the day. We will keep you both updated.
Full catering or machine hire?
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is typically easier.
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.
Bachelor's Bump parties: what to know

If you had Speckled Wood in mind, ask the council or landowner first: we cannot simply set up a roaster in a public park. Near the coast, within about 3 miles, gardens can catch the wind, so we plan a sheltered spot.

Bachelor's Bump questions
Is Bachelor's Bump too small for a hog roast?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
We’re gathering after a service at Christ Apostolic Church Hastings: can you cater?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby with an outdoor spot for the roaster. Food is usually served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you will gather.
Is mains power needed?
The roaster runs on gas, so we don’t need mains power to cook. A socket nearby is useful for lighting.
How big a hog will we need?
We size the roast to your numbers, so tell us your best estimate. The quote sets it out.
Can the hog roast be cooked indoors?
Outside, always. The food can be carried in and served indoors where the venue allows.
Do you do DIY hire for parties?
Yes, DIY machine hire is available. We will talk you through it when we quote.
Where does the hog roast go?
A flat, open spot outside, plus a step-free route to wheel the equipment in. A picture helps.
Can we hire the machine and cook it ourselves?
We do, if you are happy to roast and carve yourself. We will explain the details with your quote.
About the food
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
Rolls make a hog roast easy to eat anywhere. We can bring gluten-free rolls if you ask.
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Choose from salads, new potatoes, coleslaw and roast or jacket potatoes, depending on the season and the occasion.
Allergies and dietary needs
Most people love a hog roast, but it’s pork. Here’s how to cover everyone:
- Give us numbers for vegetarians and vegans
- Plan separately for anyone who needs halal food
- Ask about allergies on the invitation
- Request gluten-free rolls
We get there early to start the roast, so the smell is the first thing guests notice.
Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed.
How it works
Service is quick once we start carving: our chef carves and our staff fill the rolls or plates, with the sides served alongside. Afterwards we clear the serving area and pack away. Sunset in Bachelor's Bump is about 8:45pm in late May and 9:15pm in late June, so an early-evening carve is typically in daylight. After about 3:55pm in December, we need light to carve.
