Questions from Mayes Green
What’s the nearest station to Mayes Green?
The closest is Ockley station, roughly 2.9 miles away.
How far is Mayes Green from London?
About 28 miles from central London.
Can you cook inside a hall or marquee?
The roaster always stays outside, under cover, at a safe distance from walls and tents. Serving inside is often possible, with the venue’s agreement.
What if it rains?
Rain doesn’t stop the cooking. Somewhere covered for people to eat helps.
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.
Can you serve a fixed lunch break?
Tell us the numbers and the time and we will make it work.
What should we sort out beforehand?
The agreed cooking area, access for our equipment and someone to meet us. We’ll bring the rest.
Will there be enough to go round?
The roast is chosen to suit how many you’re feeding, so a good estimate matters. We’ll confirm the menu in the quote.

- Whether you want china

Is a hog roast right for your staff event?
Next to sandwich platters, hot carved pork feels much more special. The main driver is numbers: bigger groups normally cost less per head, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.
Why us?
- Salads, potatoes and coleslaw to go with it
- Timed around your day
- Cooked on the day, low and slow
- Rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling

Planners, venues and businesses
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so it’s worth asking first. We will liaise with them on access and set-up.
If you are a venue or event planner, we can fit around your other suppliers, sharing timings and a site plan.
Allergies and dietary needs
Standard rolls and stuffing contain gluten, and gluten-free rolls are available on request. A few more tips:
- Find out how many don’t eat pork, for the alternatives
- Collect dietary needs when you send the invite
- Put the allergen list where people can see it
- Tell us about vegetarians and vegans
At the agreed time, our chef carves and our staff serve, keeping the queue moving.
Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed.

Catered or do it yourself?
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
We also hire out the hog roast machine for confident cooks. You do the roasting and carving; we’ll confirm what comes with it when you ask.
