A closer look at the menu
Stuffing and apple sauce
No hog roast roll is complete without sage and onion stuffing and apple sauce, balancing the rich, salty pork.
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Crunchy coleslaw suits roast pork, and salads and new potatoes work well on a plate.

Your questions about a hog roast for your team in Plaitford Green
What’s the nearest station to Plaitford Green?
The closest is Mottisfont & Dunbridge station, roughly 3.5 miles away.
Do you come out to small places like Plaitford Green?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
Can you feed staff and families?
We do. Include visitors in your numbers and we’ll cater for all.
Can you feed everyone in a short break?
Tell us the numbers and the time and we will make it work.
How do we prepare?
Just the agreed spot and a contact on the day. We bring the roaster, cover and serving kit.
How much will it be?
Each event is priced on its own, depending on numbers, menu, timings and travel. Tell us about your staff event for a quote.
Do you need power or water?
The roaster runs on gas, so we don’t need mains power to cook. Power can help with lighting after dark.
What happens after service?
We pack everything away after service, so you’re not left with the mess.
What the cooking area needs
The roaster needs the right spot, because it cooks outside for several hours, and a little planning goes a long way:
- Vehicle access close to the cooking area
- Flat ground in a car park or courtyard
- Approval from facilities for gas equipment
Not sure about the cooking spot? Send us a picture and we’ll tell you honestly.

Full catering or machine hire?
You could go for a cold buffet, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you.
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is normally easier.

Prices and what affects them
We don’t use a fixed price list, because every staff event is different. The main factors are:
- Which meats and sides you choose
- How many people are eating
- Crockery choices
- The journey to the venue
The main driver is numbers: bigger groups typically cost less per head, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.
