What comes off the roaster

Coleslaw is the natural partner for a pork roll, while salads and potatoes make a plated meal.
Rotisserie chicken
Chicken off the rotisserie, carved or jointed can be served in a roll or on a plate.
Allergies and dietary needs
Most people love a hog roast, but it is pork. Some ways to look after everyone:

Name someone in facilities or reception for the day, so we can find you quickly.

DIY versus a catered hog roast
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is typically easier.
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.
FAQs for Grove
Could you cook in Betjeman Millennium Park?
Only if the landowner, normally the council, allows it. Check with them first.
Is Grove close to London?
About 58 miles from central London.
What about staff who do not eat pork?
The menu has lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options. Halal meat is not something we offer.
Do we need to provide electricity?
No, the roast is cooked on gas. Let us know what’s on site.
What should we sort out beforehand?
A clear, level cooking spot, a route to wheel the equipment in and a contact for the day. We bring everything else.
Can you be flexible on serving time?
Within reason, we can. Keep us posted on the day and we’ll adjust.
Can we hire the machine and cook it ourselves?
Yes, we hire out the hog roast machine. We will confirm what comes with it and how to use it.
Can you roast in the rain?
Rain does not stop the cooking. A marquee, hall or barn for eating makes all the difference.
