Dunk's Green questions
Is Dunk's Green close to London?
Roughly 24 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
Is Dunk's Green too small for a hog roast?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
What about Christmas markets?
Yes. Hot food is always popular at winter fairs.
Is it too cold for a hog roast?
We roast outdoors whatever the season. Guests will want somewhere warm and dry to eat.
What if things run late?
Because the roast takes hours, we plan from your serving time, and a cooked roast can be held for a while if things run late.
How do you work out quantities?
We size the roast to your numbers, so tell us your best estimate. We will confirm the menu in the quote.
Is lighting needed?
Yes: the cooking area, serving table and path need lighting after dark. Let us know what lighting the venue has.
What space does the roaster need?
A flat, open spot outside, and a way to wheel everything in. Send us a picture if you’re unsure.
About the food
Crackling
The skin crisps up over the hours of roasting, and we break it up so everyone gets a piece.
Roast turkey
Roast turkey gives a Christmas party a traditional touch, with the pork and crackling too.
Allergies and dietary needs
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. Here are a few tips:
- Label alternatives clearly
- Share the allergen information in advance
- Ask about dietary needs when people RSVP
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten
If the party runs late, we can hold the roast a little, so tell us about delays.
China crockery is available on request, quoted separately.
Planning the cooking spot
Before the day, it helps to think about where the roaster will go. We look for:
- Parking near the cooking area
- A safe distance from anything that could catch the heat
- Hardstanding if possible in winter
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before you book.

Organising for someone else?
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so it is worth asking first. We’ll work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.
Venues often have rules for outside caterers, from approved lists to where a gas roaster can go. Check early, and pass on anything they need from us.
The process
A hog roast is always cooked outside, under a gazebo on level ground, well clear of walls, tents and trees. We agree exactly where before the day. In Dunk's Green, December daylight ends around 3:55pm, so evening parties need lights and shelter.
- Ask early for a December date.
- You get a quote with the menu.
- We set up under cover in daylight.
- We serve pork, turkey and sides.
- We tidy up and leave.
How to prepare
- Tell us about narrow gates or side passages
- Keep the spot clear of buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches
- Gather dietary requirements early
