For event organisers in Peel Common
If the event is on someone else’s land, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
Organisers may ask for documents such as a risk assessment or gas safety information. Let us know what your event requires and we will confirm what we can provide.
What affects the price in Peel Common
We don’t use a fixed price list, because every party is different. What matters most:
- Whether you want china
- Menu choices and extras
- How many people are eating
- Time on site
Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. Slow roasting means we’re on site for much of the day, which is built into the price.
What we need to know
These are the details we need:
- Your date and serving time
- A picture of the cooking area
- Roughly how many people
- Rules from the venue or landowner
Not sure how many to cater for? Give us your best estimate and we will quote on that, and you can confirm nearer the time. Fill in our quote form.
Should I cook it myself?
A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.
You could go for a cold buffet, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience, especially outdoors.
What happens on the day
The roaster cooks outdoors, on a level, open spot under cover, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches. We’ll agree the spot with you beforehand. In Peel Common, late May sunsets come at about 8:55pm and midsummer ones at about 9:20pm, so most summer parties eat in daylight. Winter parties, dark by about 4:00pm, need lights by the roaster.

Looking after everyone
Standard rolls and stuffing contain gluten, so ask for gluten-free rolls if you need them. Other tips:
- Add a dietary question to the invite
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if anyone needs them
- Ask us to label vegetarian and vegan food
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten
Have a word with the neighbours first: roasting takes hours and the smell travels, and they may ask for a roll.
Bunting or festoon lights near the serving table make a lovely party setting.
What comes off the roaster
Stuffing and apple sauce
Sharp, sweet apple sauce and savoury sage and onion stuffing go with the pork perfectly. Note that stuffing generally contains gluten.
Crackling
Crackling is what people queue for: crisp, golden and full of flavour.
Common questions in Peel Common
Can you roast near the sea around Peel Common?
Yes, of course. We roast under cover and choose a sheltered spot where we can.
We’re gathering after a service at Peel Common Mission Church: can you cater?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Food is usually served at the reception venue rather than the church. Send us the address.
Does the roaster have to be outside?
It cooks outside, under a gazebo, on a level spot. Serving indoors is usually fine if the venue is happy.
How much will it be?
It depends on numbers, the menu and how long we are on site. Send us the details and we will quote.
Do you bring a gazebo?
Not for the cooking, but a gazebo or indoor space for guests is a good backup.
What do you need from us on the day?
Only the space and a contact number. We bring the roaster, cover and serving kit.
Do you bring plates?
We bring plates as standard. China crockery is available on request and quoted separately.
What if things run late?
Within reason, we can. Keep us posted on the day and we will adjust.
