Russell's Green questions
How far is Russell's Green from London?
Roughly 48 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
Can you do a hog roast in Highwoods?
Only if the landowner, usually the council, allows it. Check with them first.
Does the roaster have to be outside?
Outside, always. The food can be carried in and served indoors where the venue allows.
Can you roast in the rain?
The roaster is under cover, so a shower doesn’t stop us. Plan somewhere sheltered for eating.
Do you need much space at base?
A level outdoor spot clear of trucks and kit.
Do you come to Russell's Green?
Yes. We cover London and the South East, Russell's Green and the rest of East Sussex included. Send us the address for a quote.
Will there be enough to go round?
Quantities are based on your numbers, and we will confirm everything in writing.
Do you offer gluten-free rolls?
We can supply gluten-free rolls on request. We’ll give you full allergen information for every dish.
Is a hog roast right for your shoot?
Compared with ordering in, we are already there when lunch is called. When comparing prices, compare the same things: the menu, sides, service time, staffing, crockery and travel. The cheapest quote isn’t always the best value.

For planners, venues and organisers
For events on land you don’t own, such as a park or field, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
Some venues add a fee for outside caterers, so it is worth asking first. We’ll liaise with them on access and set-up.

Your timings come first. If the day runs behind, a cooked roast can be kept hot for a while, so tell us as soon as plans change. In December, daylight in Russell's Green ends around 3:55pm, so the unit base needs lighting for late service. In summer, light lasts until about 9:15pm.
