Common questions in Swift's Green
Is Swift's Green close to London?
Roughly 40 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
Do you come out to small places like Swift's Green?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
Can we hire the machine and cook it ourselves?
We do, if you’re happy to roast and carve yourself. Ask and we will talk you through it.
What will our facilities team need?
Let us know your site’s requirements, and we’ll confirm what we can provide.
What happens after service?
We clear the serving area and pack away, and leave the area tidy.
What do people get?
Pork, stuffing, apple sauce and crackling in a soft roll. Sides and extra meats are listed in your quote.
How soon do you get booked up?
As early as you can for summer weekends and December. For other dates, a few weeks can be enough. Ask and we’ll check.
What space does the roaster need?
Enough level ground outdoors for the roaster and a serving table under cover, plus a step-free route to wheel the equipment in. A picture helps.
How our corporate hog roast works in Swift's Green
Workplaces have rules, and we work to them: vehicle access, gas equipment and where we can cook. Pass on your site’s requirements. For client hospitality and away days, we will put together a menu of rotisserie chicken, halloumi skewers and crackling and more.
Near Swift's Green, workplaces can be far from shops, which makes a hog roast a real treat. The hog is roasted on site at your staff event, low and slow, for hours.
Catered or do it yourself?
You could go for a cold buffet, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you.
You could roast a hog yourself, but it is a long day’s work, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
