Looking after everyone
A hog roast is pork, so plan for anyone who doesn’t eat it. Some ways to look after everyone:
- Add dietary questions to the invite
- Give us vegetarian and vegan numbers
- Share the allergen information in advance
- Plan separately for anyone who needs halal food
We serve hot rolls on cue, so food goes out straight from the roaster.
Roast potatoes suit a winter menu.
Planners, venues and businesses
Venues often have rules for outside caterers, from approved lists to where a gas roaster can go. Ask early, and pass on anything they need from us.
Event organisers often ask caterers for paperwork such as a risk assessment. Let us know what your event requires and we’ll confirm what we can provide.
Plaitford Green: your questions answered
What’s the nearest station to Plaitford Green?
Mottisfont & Dunbridge station, about 3.5 miles north-east of the centre.
Is Plaitford Green too small for a hog roast?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.

Can you cater in Plaitford Green?
Yes. We cover London and the South East, Plaitford Green and the rest of Hampshire included. Tell us the venue and we’ll quote.
Do you need lighting?
It gets dark early, so we will sort lighting together.
How early should we book for Christmas?
The earlier the better. Midweek dates are easier.
What happens in bad weather?
The roaster is under cover, so a shower doesn’t stop us. Plan somewhere sheltered for eating.
Can you work around our timings?
We work back from when you want to eat, and a cooked roast can be held for a while if things run late.
How it works
We cook on a gas-fired roaster, so we don’t need mains power to cook; a nearby socket helps with lights if service runs into the evening. Sunset in Plaitford Green in late December is about 4:00pm, so plan lighting for any party after mid-afternoon. We set up in daylight and roast into the evening.
