Organising for someone else?
For events on land you do not own, such as a park or field, you will need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
Organisers may ask for documents such as a risk assessment or gas safety information. Tell us what you need and we will confirm what we can provide.
Before you choose a spot
It is worth planning the cooking area in advance. The ideal spot has:
- A level spot in the garden, on the patio or drive
- Neighbours warned about the smell
- Space away from the house, fences, sheds and trees
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.

Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Next to a barbecue, no one gets stuck at the grill, and everyone eats together. Adding lamb, chicken, extra sides or china changes the price, so each one is itemised. Keeping it simple keeps it affordable.

Planning for dietary needs

- Find out who doesn’t eat pork for the alternatives
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if anyone needs them
- Check the allergen list, as stuffing typically contains gluten
- Think about children’s portions

Full catering or machine hire?
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
If you are confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You cook and carve it yourself; we will confirm what comes with it when you ask.
The process
The roaster is gas-fired, so we don’t need mains power to cook, though a socket nearby is handy for lighting. A summer party in Russ Hill stays light until about 9:20pm at midsummer, so a garden party can run well into the evening. In late September it’s dark by about 7:05pm; add lights for the evening.
