For planners, venues and organisers
Marquee suppliers usually set distances for cooking equipment, so tell them a hog roast is coming. We will keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.
If the event is on someone else’s land, you will need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
Allergies and dietary needs
Rolls and stuffing normally contain gluten, so ask for gluten-free rolls if you need them. A few more tips:
- Find out who’d prefer turkey or chicken
- Plan separately for anyone who needs halal food
- Label alternatives clearly
- Ask about dietary needs when people RSVP
A cooked roast holds for a while, so tell us about delays.

Common questions in West Green
Can you do a hog roast in Grattons Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, usually the council, and many parks do not allow cooking. Ask them first.
What’s the nearest station to West Green?
Crawley station, about 0.8 miles south of the centre.
How much room do you need?
A level, open area outdoors with room for the roaster, a gazebo and a carving table, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging trees. We will check it with you before booking.
Do we need to provide electricity?
No, the roast is cooked on gas. Tell us what’s available and we will plan around it.
Can you do turkey for a Christmas party?
Roast turkey can be added for Christmas, alongside the pork.
Who serves?
You don’t need anyone else: we carve, serve and tidy up.
Can you cook inside a hall or marquee?
No, the roast is always cooked outdoors under cover, at a safe distance from walls and tents. Serving inside is often possible, with the venue’s agreement.
How long does the roast need?
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.
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.
