From a planning brief to a written booking
A useful outline starts the conversation. The actual quote and booking documents confirm the arrangement.
Prepare the right information
Have the event date, actual venue, estimated people eating and role of the meal ready. Add the proposed food time and attendance pattern, then select sides and a potato to discuss.
Raise vegetarian and vegan counts separately from the main provision. Food intolerances need express agreement before booking; the service cannot cater for food allergies.
Read the complete proposal
Check the menu, agreed food quantity, serving window, staffing, equipment, access, utilities, travel and extras. Clarify remaining-meat arrangements and guest-waste responsibilities rather than relying on a broad package phrase.
The published starting rate does not confirm the final event total or reserve a date. Ask how changes affect the proposal before altering the plan.
Check the booking terms
Read the agreed payment dates, cancellation and change terms, and the steps that confirm your booking. Your written proposal sets the guest numbers, service period, price and payment arrangements for the event.
Keep the accepted specification, venue instructions and running order together. Tell the relevant team about a material change to numbers, location, timing or requirements.
Your brief and enquiry
Use the separate enquiry form to send event details for staff review and a quotation. The local meal brief can be reviewed, copied or downloaded on your device but is not sent automatically. A brief or enquiry does not make a booking.
No date availability is checked by the planner. The privacy contact options and enquiry handling are explained in the privacy notice.
Before you request a quotation.
- Current attendance and the meal’s role.
- Menu preferences and alternative portions.
- Venue permission, access and electricity.
- Serving window, responsibilities and requested extras.

A headline price is useful only when you know what it describes. To compare hog roast quotations, give each supplier the same event brief and look for the same decisions in each response. The key questions concern food, people, service time, venue arrangements and responsibilities, rather than a price detached from its scope.

Dietary planning needs to happen before a booking is made. We cannot cater for food allergies. Intolerances can only form part of the booking where the arrangements have been expressly agreed, and coeliac requirements need separate consideration. An enquiry form is a way to start that discussion, not an acceptance of the request.
