If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.

Your questions about a hog roast for your team in Hedgerley
Can you do a hog roast in Bulstrode Park?
Only if the landowner, normally the council, allows it. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
Is Hedgerley close to London?
Roughly 22 miles from the centre of London.
Can you be flexible on serving time?
We work back from when you want to eat, and a cooked roast can be held for a while if things run late.
What about staff who do not eat pork?
We can add lamb or chicken, plus halloumi skewers for vegetarians and a vegan burger or sausage. We do not provide halal meat.
How long does a hog roast take to cook?
A whole hog roasts for several hours, so we arrive well before you want to eat. We work back from your serving time.
Can you feed everyone in a short break?
Give us your break time and numbers and we will plan around them.
How soon do you get booked up?
Popular dates go early. But it’s always worth asking: fill in our quote form.
Do you need power or water?
Cooking is gas-fired, so no mains power is needed for the roast. A socket nearby is useful for lighting.
What we serve, dish by dish
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
We can serve in rolls or on plates, and gluten-free rolls are available on request.
Rotisserie chicken
Chicken off the rotisserie, carved or jointed can be served in a roll or on a plate alongside the pork.

- Plan separately for anyone who needs halal food
Let us know about changes: a cooked roast can be held for a while.

The process
A hog roast is always cooked outside, on a level, open spot under cover, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches. We’ll agree the spot with you beforehand. Open days in Hedgerley normally finish in daylight, though in winter it’s dark by about 3:55pm, so late events need lighting.

- We check site access and send a price.
- We arrive in good time and start the roast under cover.
- Our chef carves and our staff serve to your timings.
- We tidy up and leave the site clean.
Getting ready for the day
