Castle Green: your questions answered

Which station is closest to Castle Green?

Barking Riverside station, about 1 mile south of the centre.

Could you cook in Mayesbrook Park?

Only if the landowner, normally the council, allows it. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.

Can you cater in Castle Green?

We do. Send us the address and we’ll check the date.

How do you work out quantities?

We plan quantities from the numbers you give us, and we’ll talk it through when we quote.

What happens if it’s dark?

It’s dark before 4pm in December, so we will sort lighting together.

Can we have roast turkey?

Yes, roast turkey is available for Christmas events, alongside the pork.

When do you start roasting?

Several hours, depending on the size and the weather, so we arrive well before you want to eat. We plan the timings from when you want to eat.

Can you be flexible on serving time?

Within reason, we can. Give us a contact on the day and we’ll adjust.

From office parties to village Christmas fairs, we cater festive events around Castle Green, from small teams to big crowds. For work Christmas parties and new Year parties, we will put together a menu of roast potatoes, hog roast rolls and crackling and more.

For Christmas parties in Castle Green, the roaster needs a lit, covered spot outdoors, such as a yard, courtyard or garden. Plan access early. We bring the roaster, the cover and everything we need to cook and serve, and we pack away and leave the area as we found it.

What the cooking area needs

Most outdoor spaces can work with a little planning. Here’s what helps:

  • Flat ground outside, with lights for after dark
  • Vehicle access close by
  • A firm surface, as winter grass can be soft

Castle Green is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and access can be tight: tell us about side or rear access, steps and parking for our vehicle.

If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise.

For event organisers in Castle Green

For venues and planners, we can fit around your other suppliers.

If the event is on someone else’s land, you’ll need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.

How the day works

The roaster is gas-fired, so cooking does not depend on mains power, though a socket nearby is handy for lighting. With sunset at about 3:50pm in December, most Christmas parties in Castle Green are after dark. The cooking area is lit; the route to it may need lights too.

  1. Book early for December.
  2. You get a quote with the menu.
  3. We set up under cover in daylight.
  4. We serve pork, turkey and sides.
  5. We clear the serving area and go.

How to prepare

Full catering or machine hire?

The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.

Catered or DIY? With catering, our chef roasts, carves and serves, and our staff clear up. With DIY hire, you do the work and save on staffing.

What comes off the roaster

Roast pork

Everything starts with the slow-roasted pork: carved in front of you, a mix of shoulder and leg, and served hot.

Crackling

Long, slow roasting turns the skin into crackling, and there is a piece for everyone who wants it.

Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet

Compared with a traditional sit-down Christmas lunch, a hog roast is more relaxed. A hog roast is often good value for a crowd, since one roast goes a long way. The menu, extras such as china and the serving time all affect the final price.

Why book our hog roast in Castle Green

  • Rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
  • Sides to make it a full meal
  • We bring everything to cook and serve
  • Staff to serve, so you do not have to

Read our pricing and our hog roast cost guide.

What a hog roast costs

Your quote depends on:

  • Site access
  • The journey to the venue
  • Menu choices and extras
  • Plates or china

When comparing prices, compare the same things: the menu, sides, service time, staffing, crockery and travel. The cheapest quote isn’t always the best value.

What we need to know

  • Any extras, such as lamb, chicken or china
  • An estimate of numbers
  • Any dietary needs or allergies
  • The date and when you’d like to eat

We price every booking individually, based on numbers, menu, timings and distance. Tell us about your Christmas party for a quote: send us your details through our quote form.
