A few lights by the serving table help guests and photos alike.

For event organisers in Whiteley Village
Many venues set rules for outside caterers, including where gas cooking is allowed. Check early, and tell us what they ask for.
Marquee hire companies frequently have rules about cooking near their tents, so let them know about the roaster. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.
What the cooking area needs
The cooking area is the main thing to plan. A quick checklist:
- A route to wheel equipment to the spot
- Clear space away from the marquee and any branches
- A short walk from the serving station to the guests
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before booking.

Should I cook it myself?
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.
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.

Cost depends on numbers, menu choices and service time, along with distance and how easy the site is. Every booking is different, so we quote each one individually.

Allergies and dietary needs
A hog roast is pork, so plan for anyone who does not eat it. Some ways to look after everyone:
- Count non-pork eaters, so we can add lamb, chicken or vegetarian options
- Ask for gluten-free rolls for coeliac guests
- Stuffing normally contains gluten, so check the allergen list
- Give us vegetarian and vegan numbers
Evening food usually goes out an hour or two after the first dance, timed with you in advance.
Lamb alongside the pork gives guests a choice.
