Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
For vegetarians, halloumi and vegetable skewers are cooked separately from the meat, a hot, filling option of their own.
Spit-roast lamb
Lamb roasted on the spit is a lovely alternative to pork, especially for staff who do not eat pork.

Common questions in Neames Forstal
Is Neames Forstal close to London?
Roughly 47 miles from the centre of London.
Can you do a hog roast in Mount Ephraim Gardens?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, generally the council, and many parks don’t allow cooking. Ask them first.
Do you clear up?
Our staff clear the serving area, and we take our equipment with us.
When should we book?
As early as you can for summer weekends and December. For other dates, a few weeks can be enough. Send your date and we will check.
Can you do gluten-free?
Gluten-free rolls are available on request. Ask for the allergen list, as stuffing normally contains gluten.
Do we need to provide electricity?
Cooking is gas-fired, so no mains power is needed for the roast. Power can help with lighting after dark.
Can you feed staff and families?
Yes, a hog roast suits open days, with chicken and vegetarian options for visitors.
Do you provide china?
We supply plates as standard. You can upgrade to china if you prefer.
Should I cook it myself?
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience.
- Roasted on site for several hours, outdoors under cover
- Carved to order by our chef, with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
