What we serve, dish by dish
Roast pork
Hours of slow roasting make the pork soft and full of flavour, and it’s carved fresh as people come up.
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Not everyone eats meat, and halloumi skewers give them a proper hot option.
About our hog roast for events in Bassett Green
At a fun run or tournament, a hog roast feeds hungry competitors. We’re often asked to cater church and village fêtes and festivals, serving hog roast rolls, apple sauce and rotisserie chicken.
Events near Bassett Green are frequently volunteer-run, so a self-contained hog roast helps. Our chef carves in front of your visitors, so the pork is hot and the crackling is crisp, and nothing sits in a hot cabinet.

Step by step
When we arrive, we position the roaster under cover and get the hog cooking. From there it cooks low and slow for hours, timed so it’s ready when you want to eat. In late May, sunset in Bassett Green is about 8:55pm, while at midsummer it is about 9:25pm. After dark, the stall needs lighting.
- Organisers send us the date, site, numbers and how food will be paid for.
- We check the pitch and any paperwork, then quote.
- On the day we set up under cover and get the hog on.
- We carve rolls to order as the queue moves.
- We pack down, take our waste and leave the pitch clean.
Before we arrive
- Keep the spot clear of buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches
- Choose a level, open spot outdoors for the roaster
- Have a covered area for eating in case of rain

Questions from Bassett Green
Is Bassett Green close to London?
Roughly 68 miles from the centre of London.
Can you do a hog roast in Riverside Park?
Only if the landowner, generally the council, allows it. Ask them first.
How soon do you get booked up?
As early as you can for summer weekends and December. For other dates, a few weeks can be enough. Send your date and we will check.
When do you start roasting?
Hours rather than minutes. You will know our arrival time in advance.
Do you need power on site?
Just a pitch, access and any agreed paperwork. We bring the rest.
Who serves?
We carve and serve for you, and we clear up when service is finished.
What if things run late?
We will be as flexible as we can. Keep us posted on the day and we’ll adjust.
What do you need from us on the day?
A clear, level cooking spot, a route to wheel the equipment in and a contact for the day. We will bring the rest.

Planners, venues and businesses
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.
For workplace bookings, ask your facilities team about outside caterers and gas cooking. We will fit in with site rules.
Should I cook it myself?
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is usually easier.
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.
A hog roast compared with other options
Next to cold food, hot food is popular in any season. A hog roast is often good value for a crowd, because one whole roast feeds a lot of people. The menu, extras such as china and the serving time all affect the final price.
