Old Tree: your questions answered
Do you come out to small places like Old Tree?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
Can you do a hog roast in Curtis Wood?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, usually the council, and many parks do not allow cooking. Ask them first.
How long does the roast need?
A whole hog roasts for several hours, which is why we arrive hours ahead. We plan the timings from when you want to eat.
Where on site can you cook?
A car park, yard or grounds typically works, if there’s a level spot away from buildings and vehicles.
Can you do gluten-free?
Ask for gluten-free rolls and we’ll bring them. You’ll get allergen details for everything.
Is there a non-pork option?
Add lamb, chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers or a vegan option. We do not offer halal meat.
What’s included?
Pork, stuffing, apple sauce and crackling in a soft roll. Sides and extra meats are listed in your quote.
Do you leave the area tidy?
We pack everything away after service, so you are not left with the mess.
About our corporate hog roast in Old Tree
Staff days in Old Tree work well with a hog roast: quick to serve, easy to eat standing up and enjoyed by most people. There are choices for people who don’t eat pork. For away days and new premises openings, we will put together a menu of spit-roast lamb, salads and crackling.
At country workplaces around Old Tree, a hog roast brings a hot lunch to wherever the team is. Let us know about tracks and gates. Tell us about dietary needs and allergies when you enquire, and we will give you the allergen information for every dish before you book.
Looking after everyone
Not everyone eats pork, so it is worth adding an alternative. A few pointers:
- Plan separately for anyone who needs halal food
- Add a dietary question to the sign-up
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed
- Give us vegetarian and vegan numbers
At the agreed time, our chef carves and our staff serve, keeping the queue moving.
Tell us about branding or theming for open days and we’ll fit in.

How it works
A hog roast is always cooked outside, on a level, open spot under cover, well clear of walls, tents and trees. We agree exactly where before the day. Lunchtime bookings in Old Tree are in daylight all year; winter evening events are dark by about 3:50pm, so evening events need a lit cooking area. Summer events have daylight until around 9:15pm.
- Tell us where, when, how many and when you eat.
- We check access and gas rules and quote.
- The roast starts early on site.
- We serve within your break.
- We tidy up and leave.
Getting ready for the day
- Check there is a route to wheel the equipment in, without steps
- Make sure the cooking area is away from walls, tents and trees
- Give us final numbers a week or so before

Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Some staff will be vegetarian, so halloumi and vegetable skewers make sure they’re not left with just salad.
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Salads, new potatoes, coleslaw and roast or jacket potatoes turn rolls into a full meal, especially at a sit-down event.
