Common questions in Willey Green
Could you cook in Broadstreet?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, normally the council, and many parks don’t allow cooking. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
How far is Willey Green from London?
About 29 miles from central London.
Can the hog roast be cooked indoors?
No, the roast is always cooked outdoors under cover, away from buildings and marquee walls. Serving inside is often possible, with the venue’s agreement.
Do you offer gluten-free rolls?
Ask for gluten-free rolls and we will bring them. We’ll give you full allergen information for every dish.
Do you do DIY hog roast hire?
Yes, we hire out the hog roast machine. We will explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
What’s the price?
Every booking is quoted individually, depending on numbers, menu, timings and travel. Ask us for a quote.
Can residents with swallowing difficulties have the hog roast?
Modified textures are best done by the home; we’ll work alongside your kitchen.
How do you work out quantities?
We size the roast to your numbers, so a good estimate matters. The quote sets it out.

What comes off the roaster

Hours of slow roasting make the pork soft and full of flavour, and it is carved fresh as people come up.
The process
Here’s how the day typically runs: we arrive, set up under cover and start roasting, the roast cooks gently through the day, and we carve and serve at the agreed time. For a summer hog roast day in Willey Green, residents can enjoy the garden in daylight until about 9:20pm, so an afternoon in the garden works well. In winter, dark by about 3:55pm, a lunchtime event is better.
- A date and rough headcount from the home gets things started.
- We look at photos of the garden or car park and suggest a cooking spot.
- The kitchen shares residents’ dietary needs with us.
- On the day the hog roasts outside while residents watch from the lounge or garden.
- Lunch is carved and served, and we pack away quietly afterwards.
Before we arrive
- Give us a contact number for the day
- Have a covered area for eating in case of rain
- Let us know about tight access
