Working with your venue
Booking for a club or group? One clear contact makes everything easier, particularly when timings shift.
Marquee hire companies frequently have rules about cooking near their tents, so let them know about the roaster. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.
The process
A typical booking goes like this: the roaster goes up and the hog goes on, the roast cooks gently through the day, and we carve and serve at the agreed time. By late September, sunset in Goose Hill is about 7:10pm; by December it’s about 4:00pm. Light the garden path and the serving area.
- It starts with the date, the address and a rough guest list.
- We check the space and send a clear quote.
- We arrive in good time and start roasting.
- When it’s time to eat, the chef carves and we serve.
- We clear up and pack away.
How to prepare
- Ask about allergies and dietary needs beforehand
- Measure the narrowest gate or passage
- Have a covered area for eating in case of rain

What we serve, dish by dish
Crackling
Long, slow roasting turns the skin into crackling, and we break it up so everyone gets a piece.
Rotisserie chicken
For guests who do not eat pork, rotisserie chicken is the easy answer, and it suits fussy eaters.
Full catering or machine hire?
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you, especially outdoors.
Allergies and dietary needs
A hog roast is pork, so plan for anyone who does not eat it. Some ways to look after everyone:
- Request gluten-free rolls
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten
- Let us know roughly how many children
- Keep the vegetarian option labelled
Clear the route to the garden before we arrive, so we can wheel the equipment in.
Add chicken for younger or fussier guests.
What the cooking area needs
The roaster needs space, cover and a safe distance from anything that could catch the heat. Before booking, check:
- A level spot in the garden, on the patio or drive
- A side gate or passage wide enough to wheel the equipment
- Parking close to the house
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.
