Planners, venues and businesses
For events on land you do not own, such as a park or field, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
Organisers may ask for documents such as a risk assessment or gas safety information. Let us know what your event requires and we’ll confirm what we can provide.
Prices and what affects them
Your quote depends on:
- Whether you want china
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
- The number of people

Numbers make the biggest difference: the price per head typically falls as numbers rise, since much of the cost is fixed.

Questions from Middlegreen
What’s the nearest station to Middlegreen?
Langley station, about 0.7 miles east of the centre.
Can you do a hog roast in Ditton Park?
Only if the landowner, normally the council, allows it. Check with them first.
Do you clear up?
Our staff clear up after service, and leave the area tidy.
How much will it be?
It depends on numbers, the menu and how long we are on site. Send us the details and we will quote.
Do you need power or water?
The roaster runs on gas, so we do not need mains power to cook. A socket nearby is useful for lighting.
Is there a non-pork option?
Add lamb, chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers or a vegan option. We don’t offer halal meat.
Can you serve at lunch?
Tell us the time that suits residents, and we will be ready.
