Working with your venue
For events on land you do not own, such as a park or field, you’ll need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so it’s worth asking first. We will liaise with them on access and set-up.

Full catering or machine hire?
Catered or DIY? Catered means we do everything: roasting, carving, serving and clearing. With hire only, you do the cooking yourself.
You could roast a hog yourself, but it’s a long day’s work, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
You’ll get allergen information for everything we serve. To make the most of it:
- Halal is not offered, so plan separately if needed
- Give final numbers in good time
- Give us vegetarian and vegan numbers
- Stuffing normally contains gluten, so check the allergen list
We serve and clear without fuss, and leave you to celebrate.
Add spit-roast lamb for a second roast.
