For event organisers in Heath End
For events on land you do not own, such as a park or field, you’ll need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
Organisers may ask for documents such as a risk assessment or gas safety information. Let us know what your event requires and we’ll tell you what we can send.
Catered or do it yourself?
A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience, especially outdoors.
Planning for dietary needs
We give full allergen information for every dish. To help:
- Halal is not offered, so arrange it separately if needed
- Find out who doesn’t eat pork for the alternatives
- Ask us to label vegetarian and vegan food
- Tell us how many vegetarians and vegans to expect
Ensure the gate or side passage is open when we arrive, so we can bring everything through.
Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed.
The process
The secret is time: the meat cooks gently until it is tender while the skin crisps into crackling. It rests for a short while before carving. Evening parties in Heath End need a little planning: daylight lasts until about 9:25pm at midsummer, but by late September it is around 7:10pm. A string of lights over the serving table works wonders.
- Tell us about your party: date, address and numbers.
- We check the garden or drive and quote.
- We set up hours ahead.
- At food time, the chef carves and we serve.
- We tidy up and pack away.
Before we arrive
- Send final numbers in good time
- Tell us about narrow gates or side passages
- Plan somewhere sheltered for people to eat if it rains
