Dukes Green questions
Do you come out to small places like Dukes Green?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Which station is closest to Dukes Green?
Berwick (Sussex) station, about 2.8 miles north of the centre.
What’s the price?
Every booking is quoted individually, depending on numbers, menu, timings and travel. Tell us about your shoot for a quote.
How much room do you need?
Enough level ground outdoors for the roaster and a serving table under cover, and a way to wheel everything in. Send us a picture if you are unsure.
Can you do gluten-free?
Ask for gluten-free rolls and we will bring them. You’ll get allergen details for everything.
What happens in bad weather?
We roast under cover, so the food isn’t affected. Your crew will want somewhere dry to eat.
What about locations off the beaten track?
We can, given access details. Let us know about the route.
What does the production need from you?
Requirements vary by production.
The process
We arrive hours before you want to eat, because a whole hog takes hours to roast. The smell usually brings people over long before we carve. In December, daylight in Dukes Green ends around 3:55pm, so the unit base needs lighting for late service. Summer shoots have daylight until about 9:15pm.
- We start with the location, call times and numbers.
- You get a check on access and a quote.
- We agree our position at base with the location manager.
- When lunch is called, we carve and serve quickly.
- We pack away straight after service.
Getting ready for the day
- Check there’s nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat
- Gather dietary requirements early
- Make sure we can wheel the roaster to the spot

How we price a hog roast for the crew
Every booking is priced individually, based on a few main things:
- Plates or china
- Site access
- How long the roast and service take
- Distance from us
For larger numbers, a hog roast is usually good value, because one whole roast feeds plenty of people. The menu, extras such as china and the serving time all affect the final price.
What we need to know
Good details mean a good quote. Please include:
- Any venue rules
- Any extras, such as lamb, chicken or china
- What the outdoor space is like
- The date and time of the event
Every shoot is quoted on its own, because numbers, menu, serving time and travel vary. Ask us for a quote for your shoot: send us your details through our quote form.
