Step by step
Slow roasting is the whole point: hours of gentle heat make the pork soft and juicy while the skin turns into crackling. It rests for a short while before carving. In late September, sunset in Marsh Green is about 7:10pm; in December, about 4:05pm, so we plan lighting for later gatherings.

FAQs for Marsh Green
Is Marsh Green too small for a hog roast?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
Can you cater after a service at St. Mary's Church?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Churches rarely have space for a hog roast, so the food is typically elsewhere. Tell us where you’ll gather.
Do we need to provide electricity?
Not to cook, because the roaster is gas-fired. Let us know what’s on site.
Can you roast in the rain?
We roast under cover, so the food isn’t affected. Your guests will want somewhere dry to eat.
Can you do something else?
Chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers or a vegan option. Halal is not available.
Can you cook inside a hall or marquee?
Outside, always. Serving indoors is usually fine if the venue is happy.
What if the service runs late?
Name someone we can call and we’ll adjust.
Can we hire the machine and cook it ourselves?
Yes, we hire out the hog roast machine. We’ll confirm what comes with it and how to use it.
What comes off the roaster
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Crunchy coleslaw suits roast pork, and salads and new potatoes work well on a plate.
Rotisserie chicken
Golden rotisserie chicken can be served in a roll or on a plate.
