Working with your venue
Venues frequently have rules for outside caterers, including where gas cooking is allowed. Ask early, and pass on anything they need from us.
Some venues add a fee for outside caterers, so check before you book. We’ll liaise with them on access and set-up.
Before you choose a spot
Most outdoor spaces can work if a few things are right. Here’s what helps:
- A marquee, hall or barn as a wet-weather plan
- The venue’s agreement to a gas-fired roaster
- Nothing overhead that could catch the heat
Should I cook it myself?
We also hire out the hog roast machine for confident cooks. You do the roasting and carving; we will explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from early set-up to carving at the end. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
The menu, dish by dish
Crackling
Good crackling needs time and heat, and a whole hog roasted slowly gets it just right.
Spit-roast lamb
With lamb as well, there are two roasts to choose from, which works well for larger groups.
