Common questions in America Ground
How far is America Ground from London?
Roughly 53 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
Can you roast near the sea around America Ground?
Yes. We roast under cover and choose a sheltered spot where we can.
Is lighting needed?
It’s dark before 4pm in December, so we plan lighting with you.
What do you need from us on the day?
Only the space and a contact number. We bring the roaster, cover and serving kit.
What happens in bad weather?
Rain doesn’t stop the cooking. A marquee, hall or barn for eating makes all the difference.
What’s the price?
Each event is priced on its own, depending on numbers, menu, timings and travel. Tell us about your Christmas party for a quote.
Do December dates go quickly?
As early as possible, especially for Fridays and Saturdays. Send your date early.
Can we hire the machine and cook it ourselves?
Yes, we hire out the hog roast machine. We’ll explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
Planning for dietary needs
A hog roast is pork, so plan for anyone who does not eat it. Some ways to look after everyone:
- Request gluten-free rolls
- Label alternatives clearly
- Ask about dietary needs when people RSVP
- Halal is not offered, so arrange it separately
A cooked roast holds for a while, so keep us posted.
China crockery is available on request.
Where the roaster can go in America Ground
Most outdoor spaces can work if a few things are right. Here’s what helps:
- A level outdoor area that can be lit

DIY versus a catered hog roast

Catered or DIY? Catered means we do everything: roasting, carving, serving and clearing. With DIY hire, you do the work and save on staffing.
