Your questions about a hog roast for the crew in How Green
Is How Green close to London?
Roughly 23 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
Can you do a hog roast at a venue in the High Weald National Landscape?

Can you work to the call sheet?
That is exactly how we work, holding the roast if lunch moves.

Can you cater our wrap?

Is mains power needed?
Cooking is gas-fired, so no mains power is needed for the roast. A socket nearby is useful for lighting.
How much room do you need?
A level, open area outdoors with room for the roaster, a gazebo and a carving table, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging trees. We will check it with you before booking.

How the day works
People love watching the carving: our chef carves the pork in front of the queue, and the crackling is shared out so everyone gets some. In December, daylight in How Green ends around 3:55pm, so the unit base needs lighting for late service. Summer shoots have daylight until about 9:20pm.
- Production sends us the location and call times.
- We confirm access and send a price.
- We set up at base and roast through the morning.
- We serve when lunch is called.
- We clear our spot.
Getting ready for the day
- Keep the spot clear of buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches
