Outdoor events are often the perfect setting for a memorable celebration, whether it be a wedding, a birthday party or even just a family reunion. However, you can never guarantee the British weather, and it can be difficult to make the decision as to whether you should hold the big day outdoors. What happens when the weather doesn’t cooperate, and rain makes a surprise appearance? Of course, it’s always best to have a backup plan in place. So, in this blog, we’ll provide you with some useful tips to keep in mind for the day when booking Hog Roast Fishguard.
The first step in planning an outdoor event with a hog roast is choosing a caterer who is experienced in handling various weather conditions. Enter Hog Roast Fishguard. A reliable catering team will be prepared to tackle whatever Mother Nature throws at them, and they should have the right equipment to ensure everything goes smoothly — rain or shine. Therefore, here at Hog Roast Fishguard, we will provide the appropriate cover for our hog roast machine. However, don’t forget about your guests! Consider renting a marquee, or gazebo to cover your dining area. Make sure the tent is large enough to accommodate your guests and any seating you plan to provide. During the summer months, opt for a tent with clear sides, so that guests can still view the stunning scenery, And, during the winter months, go for a tent with lights to create a cosy and festive atmosphere. To be on the safe side, it may also be worth placing down wooden boards or rubber flooring to create a stable surface – especially if the grass is soddened underfoot.
And with rainy weather sometimes brings along plummeting temperatures, so it may be worthwhile hiring some heaters for the marquee to keep your guests warm – and especially through the evening. Just be sure to check with your venue to ensure you’re following all safety guidelines when using heaters alongside Hog Roast Fishguard’s hog roast machines.
