Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Instead of organising a trip, a hog roast at the home is easier for residents with mobility needs. Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. Slow roasting means we’re on site for much of the day, which is built into the price.

Common questions in Muddles Green
Can you do a hog roast at a venue in the South Downs National Park?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about cooking and vehicles, so check with yours. We’ll work to whatever the site needs.
Is Muddles Green close to London?
Roughly 43 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
What if it rains?
Rain doesn’t stop the cooking. A marquee, hall or barn for eating makes all the difference.
Can residents with swallowing difficulties have the hog roast?
Texture-modified meals should be prepared by the home’s kitchen to each resident’s plan. We will give your team the information they need.
What do you need from us on the day?
Just the agreed spot and a contact on the day. We bring the roaster, cover and serving kit.
When should we book?
As early as you can for summer weekends and December. For other dates, a few weeks can be enough. Ask and we’ll check.
What about coeliacs?
We can provide gluten-free rolls if you ask. Ask for the allergen list, as stuffing normally contains gluten.
Where does the hog roast go?
Enough level ground outdoors for the roaster and a serving table under cover, and a way to wheel everything in. Send us a picture if you’re unsure.
Organising for someone else?
If you’re booking for a workplace, ask your facilities team about outside caterers and gas cooking. We work to the site’s rules.
Marquee suppliers generally set distances for cooking equipment, so tell them a hog roast is coming. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.
What we serve, dish by dish
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Add salads, coleslaw and potatoes to make it a proper meal, especially at a sit-down event.
Rotisserie chicken
Chicken from the rotisserie gives people a non-pork choice, roasted until golden.

How the day works
Slow roasting is the whole point: hours of gentle heat make the pork soft and juicy while the skin crisps into crackling. Then it rests briefly before our chef carves. By late September, the light in Muddles Green goes at about 7:05pm, so autumn events are best at lunchtime.
- We talk through residents’ needs with your team.
- You get a clear price.
- We set up outdoors, clear of access routes.
- We carve thinly and serve on plates.
- We tidy up and go.
