Your questions about a hog roast day in Bury's Bank
Could you cook in New Greenham Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, usually the council, and many parks do not allow cooking. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
How far is Bury's Bank from London?
About 52 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
Do you clear up?
We pack everything away after service, so you’re not left with the mess.
What’s included?
The classic: pork in rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. Your quote lists any sides and extras.
How much does a hog roast cost?
It depends on numbers, the menu and how long we are on site. Tell us your date and we’ll send a price.
Is mains power needed?
The roaster runs on gas, so we don’t need mains power to cook. A socket nearby is useful for lighting.
Can you carve thinly?
We can carve thinly and serve on plates with potatoes and apple sauce.
How soon do you get booked up?
As early as you can for summer weekends and December. Quieter dates can often be booked at shorter notice. Send your date and we’ll check.
For planners, venues and organisers
Some venues add a fee for outside caterers, so it’s worth asking first. We will work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.
For workplace bookings, check with facilities about gas equipment and vehicle access. We work to the site’s rules.

- A clear quote with everything listed

About the food
Rotisserie chicken
Chicken off the rotisserie, carved or jointed goes into rolls or onto plates.
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Salads, new potatoes, coleslaw and roast or jacket potatoes turn rolls into a full meal, especially at a sit-down event.
Planning for dietary needs
Some residents won’t eat pork, so it is worth adding an alternative. Helpful tips:
- Count residents who need an alternative
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten
- Modified diets should come from the home’s kitchen
- Plan separately for halal if needed
Carers can help residents choose and carry plates, while we serve.
Add potatoes and apple sauce.
Prices and what affects them
A few things make the biggest difference to the price:
- The serving time and how long we are on site
- Access to the cooking area
- Whether you want china
- The date and time of year
Extras such as lamb, chicken, more sides or china crockery add to the cost, so each one is itemised. Keeping it simple keeps it affordable.
