Newyears Green questions
Can you do a hog roast in Church Field Gardens?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, typically the council, and many parks don’t allow cooking. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
Do you come out to small places like Newyears Green?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
What happens in bad weather?
Rain doesn’t stop the cooking. A marquee, hall or barn for eating makes all the difference.
What if the service runs late?
We wait: we hold the food until people arrive.
What about guests who do not eat pork?
We can add lamb or chicken, plus halloumi skewers for vegetarians and a vegan burger or sausage. We do not provide halal meat.
Do you cover Newyears Green?
We do. Send us the address and we will confirm availability.
Can we hire the machine and cook it ourselves?
Yes, we hire out the hog roast machine. We’ll explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
How long does the roast need?
Several hours, depending on the size and the weather, which is why we arrive hours ahead. We work back from your serving time.
What happens on the day
We get there well ahead of service, since slow roasting cannot be rushed. Your guests will smell it long before they see it. For a summer wake in Newyears Green, there is light until about 9:25pm, so a garden gathering works well.
- Contact us when the date is set.
- We check the cooking spot with the venue.
- We cook on site.
- We serve quietly.
- We leave the venue tidy.
Getting ready for the day
- Ensure we can wheel the roaster to the spot

Allergies and dietary needs
Most people love a hog roast, but it’s pork. Some ways to look after everyone:
- Ask close family about dietary needs
- Plan separately if anyone needs halal food
- Tell us about vegetarians and vegans
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten, so check the allergen list
Our staff are discreet and respectful throughout.
Rotisserie chicken is a good alternative for those who don’t eat pork.
What the cooking area needs
It is worth planning the cooking area in advance. We look for:
- Permission from the hall or venue
- Space inside for guests
- One contact on the day
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.
