FAQs for Slade Green
Could you cook in Braeburn Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, normally the council, and many parks don’t allow cooking. Check with them first.
What if our house in Slade Green has no side access?
It depends on access: a rear gate or yard normally works. Send us a photo and we’ll tell you honestly.
What comes with the hog roast?

Do you do DIY hog roast hire?

A clear, level cooking spot, a route to wheel the equipment in and a contact for the day. We bring everything else.
Do residents have to eat rolls?
Plates with thin slices are easy to arrange.
Do you come to Slade Green?
Yes, Slade Green is in our area. Tell us the venue or postcode and we’ll check the date.

Allergies and dietary needs
A hog roast is pork, so plan for anyone who does not eat it. Here’s how to cover everyone:
- Tell us who doesn’t eat pork
- Modified diets should come from the home’s kitchen
- Plan separately for halal if needed
- Request thin slices
Afterwards we tidy up calmly.
Plates rather than rolls suit many residents.
How we price a hog roast day
Each booking is quoted on its own, and the price depends on a few things:
- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
- Travel to Slade Green
- Plates or china
- The number of people
For larger numbers, a hog roast is normally good value, because one whole roast feeds a lot of people. Extras, china and longer service add to it.
