Working with your venue
Marquee hire companies frequently have rules about cooking near their tents, so tell them a hog roast is coming. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.
If the event is on someone else’s land, you will need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
West Grinstead: your questions answered
Is West Grinstead close to London?
Roughly 37 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
Can you cater after a service at Shrine Church of Our Lady of Consolation and St Francis?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Churches rarely have space for a hog roast, so the food is generally elsewhere. Tell us where you’ll gather.
Do you clear up?
We clear the serving area and pack away, and leave the area tidy.
What if it rains?
The roaster is under cover, so a shower doesn’t stop us. Your guests will want somewhere dry to eat.
What should we sort out beforehand?
The agreed cooking area, access for our equipment and someone to meet us. We’ll bring the rest.
Can we hire the hog roast machine for our party?
Yes, for confident cooks. Catering is the easier option.
Will a hog roast fit in our garden?
Often, yes, if there is a level spot away from the house and trees, and a way to wheel the equipment through. A picture helps.
Do you do DIY hog roast hire?
Yes, we hire out the hog roast machine. We’ll explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
- Roasted slowly at your venue, outdoors and under cover
