Working with your venue
Planning on behalf of a committee? A single point of contact keeps things simple, particularly when timings shift.
Venues often have rules for outside caterers, including where gas cooking is allowed. Check early, and pass on anything they need from us.
Should I cook it myself?
We also hire out the hog roast machine for confident cooks. You do the roasting and carving; we will confirm what comes with it when you ask.
You could go for a cold buffet, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you.
Before you choose a spot
We need room to cook safely and under cover. Things to check:
- Clearance from walls, fences and overhanging branches
- Neighbours warned about the smell
- A side gate or passage wide enough to wheel the equipment
Not sure about the cooking spot? Send us a picture and we will tell you honestly before booking.

- Plan separately for anyone who needs halal food
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if anyone needs them

Warn the neighbours: roasting takes hours and the smell travels, and they may ask for a roll.
Add chicken for younger or fussier guests.
Step by step
