Your questions about a hog roast day in Bell Green
Can you do a hog roast in Mayow Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, typically the council, and many parks don’t allow cooking. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
Which station is closest to Bell Green?
Lower Sydenham station, in Bell Green itself.
Can the hog roast be cooked indoors?
No, the roast is always cooked outdoors under cover, away from buildings and marquee walls. We can often serve indoors if the venue agrees.
Can you serve on plates?
Plates with thin slices are easy to arrange.
Can you cater for vegetarians?
The menu has lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options. We don’t provide halal meat.
Can we just hire the roaster?
DIY machine hire is available. We will explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
What if things run late?
Because the roast takes hours, we plan from your serving time, and we can hold the roast for a while if the day runs behind.
Where does the hog roast go?
Roughly the footprint of a gazebo or two, on level ground, well clear of walls, tents and branches. We will check it with you before booking.

What else we do in Bell Green
Is a hog roast right for your care home event?
Next to a buffet, hot carved pork on a plate is easier to manage for many residents. Extras such as lamb, chicken, more sides or china crockery add to the cost, so each one is itemised. A simple menu keeps the cost down.
What you get with us
- A choice of salads and potatoes
- Cooked on the day, low and slow
- No surprises: everything in writing
- Timed around your day
See our pricing and the cost guide.
For planners, venues and organisers
For workplace bookings, ask your facilities team about outside caterers and gas cooking. We work to the site’s rules.
Planning on behalf of a committee? One clear contact makes everything easier, especially on the day.
How it works
Rain doesn’t stop the roast, because we cook under cover. It’s worth planning a sheltered place for people to eat, too. By late September, the light in Bell Green goes at about 7:05pm, so we suggest a lunchtime serving in autumn.
- We start with the date and numbers.
- We check the grounds and send a price.
- We roast through the morning.
- We serve inside or out.
- We clear away quietly.
Getting ready for the day
- Ensure we can wheel the roaster to the spot
- Confirm numbers ahead of the day
- Have a level outdoor spot ready
