Frequently Asked Questions
If your question isn’t answered here, please get in touch.
Do you need electric & water hook-up?
Yes electric, No water. We bring long extension leads and water — All we require is access to standard 13-amp plug sockets.
Do you have public liability insurance?
Yes, we’re fully covered with £1 million public liability and all relevant food safety certificates.
Do I pay a deposit or the full balance when booking?
If your event is within two weeks, full payment is required. Otherwise, a £150 deposit secures your date, with the remaining balance due two weeks before the event.
Do your hog machines and BBQs run on coal or gas?
We use LPG gas for a cleaner, more authentic taste — and better safety than coal.
How long does it take to cook a whole pig?
On average, 9 hours for a 50kg pig. Cold weather may extend cooking time.
Can you cook a hog roast indoors?
Yes, in a well-ventilated area. We prefer outdoor cooking, but our machines are on wheels and can be moved inside once cooked.
Do I need to do anything on the day?
Just show us where to set up and provide access to water and electricity — we’ll handle the rest.
What time will you arrive on site?
We typically arrive 3 hours before serving time to set up.
How long will food be served?
We serve for up to 2 hours. Shorter durations can be arranged.
If I cancel after paying the £150 deposit, is it refundable?
Unfortunately, the deposit is non-refundable.
Can you cater events that start after dark?
Absolutely. We provide strong, well-lit floodlights for evening service.
