What affects the price in Maiden's Green
Every booking is priced individually, and the price depends on a few things:
- Plates or china
- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
- The serving time and how long we’re on site
- How easy it is to reach the spot
The main driver is numbers: the price per head usually falls as numbers rise, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.

For planners, venues and organisers
Marquee hire companies frequently have rules about cooking near their tents, so let them know about the roaster. We will keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.
Event organisers frequently ask caterers for paperwork such as a risk assessment. Tell us what you need and we will confirm what we can provide.
What happens on the day
When we arrive, we set up the roaster on the agreed spot, put the cover up and start the roast. From there it cooks low and slow for hours, worked back from your serving time. Late May in Maiden's Green has light until about 8:55pm, so a spring hog roast day can carry on into the evening.
- You tell us when, how many and where.
- We check the grounds and send a price.
- We arrive early and start the roast.
- We serve in the dining room or garden, as you prefer.
- Afterwards we pack up quietly.
