Hatchet Green questions
Is Hatchet Green too small for a hog roast?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
Can you serve at lunch?
We fit around the home’s routine, lunch or an afternoon event.
Do residents have to eat rolls?
Plates are frequently easier for residents.
Do you cook in the kitchen?
In the grounds, never in the kitchen and away from opening windows.
How soon do you get booked up?
The earlier the better for popular dates. But do ask even at short notice: send us your details through our quote form.
When do you start roasting?
It depends on the size of the hog and the weather, but it is several hours. We’ll confirm our arrival time when we quote.
How do you work out quantities?
We size the roast to your numbers, so tell us your best estimate. We will confirm the menu in the quote.
Can you work around our timings?
We will be as flexible as we can. Give us a contact on the day and we will adjust.

A closer look at the menu
Stuffing and apple sauce
Apple sauce brings sweetness and sharpness are the traditional pairing. Stuffing normally contains gluten.
Roast pork
The hog roasts slowly for hours, so the meat is tender and juicy, and it is carved fresh as people come up.
