Common questions in Leagreen
Do you come out to small places like Leagreen?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
What about windy coastal sites?
Yes, of course. Wind is something we plan for: a sheltered spot and secure cover.
Can you cook inside a hall or marquee?
The roaster always stays outside, under cover, away from buildings and marquee walls. Serving inside is often possible, with the venue’s agreement.
What about crew who do not eat pork?
We can add lamb or chicken, plus halloumi skewers for vegetarians and a vegan burger or sausage. We don’t provide halal meat.
What about crew who don’t eat pork?
Chicken, lamb, halloumi skewers and a vegan option. Halal isn’t available.
Can you roast in the rain?
Rain doesn’t stop the cooking. Somewhere covered for people to eat helps.
Do we need our own staff?
You don’t need anyone else: we carve, serve and tidy up.
Do you come to Leagreen?
We do. Tell us the venue or postcode and we will confirm availability.
Planning for dietary needs
Not everyone eats pork, so it’s worth adding an alternative. Helpful tips:
- Stuffing usually contains gluten
- Plan separately for halal if needed
- Request gluten-free rolls
- Give us vegetarian and vegan numbers
When lunch is called, we carve fast.
A second meat widens the menu.
What a hog roast costs
Here’s what affects the price:
- Crockery choices
- The number of people
- The date and time of year
- Access to the cooking area
A hog roast is frequently good value for a crowd, since one roast goes a long way. Extras, china and longer service add to it.
What we need to know
To check availability and the cooking area, tell us:
- Any venue rules
- The address or postcode
- Rough numbers
- Which meats and sides you’d like

What happens on the day
We cook on a gas-fired roaster, so we don’t need mains power to cook; a nearby socket helps with lights if service runs into the evening. On a winter shoot near Leagreen, the light goes by about 4:05pm, so the unit base needs lighting for late service. In summer, light lasts until about 9:25pm.
- Production sends us the location and call times.
- We confirm access and send a price.
- The roast starts early.
- We serve when lunch is called.
- We pack away straight after.
Getting ready for the day
- Ensure the cooking area is away from walls, tents and trees
- Ask about allergies and dietary needs beforehand
- Give us a contact number for the day
