How it works
Your timings come first. If things run late, a cooked roast can be kept hot for a while, so tell us as soon as plans change. Autumn and winter afternoons in Green Street Green get dark early: about 7:00pm in late September and 3:50pm in December, so a later wake may need lighting outside.
- Share the date, place and numbers.
- We reply quickly with a price.
- We roast quietly during the service.
- Food is ready as guests gather.
- We clear away discreetly.
How to prepare

Questions from Green Street Green
Do you cater at venues in the Kent Downs National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for caterers; ask your venue. We’ll work to whatever the site needs.
Is Green Street Green too small for a hog roast?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
How much will it be?
Every booking is quoted individually, depending on numbers, menu, timings and travel. Tell us about your wake for a quote.
What do people get?
The classic: pork in rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. Your quote lists any sides and extras.
Can we just hire the roaster?
Yes, we hire out the hog roast machine. We will explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
What happens after service?
Our staff clear up after service, leaving the spot as we found it.
Can you do gluten-free?
Gluten-free rolls are available on request. Ask for the allergen list, as stuffing normally contains gluten.
What if it rains?
Rain doesn’t stop the cooking. A marquee, hall or barn for eating makes all the difference.
Before you choose a spot
Before the day, it helps to think about where the roaster will go. We look for:
- A level outdoor area
- A safe distance from the hall
- One contact on the day
