Common questions in Cooper's Green
Could you cook in Hempstead Meadow?
Only if the landowner, generally the council, allows it. Ask them first.
What’s the nearest station to Cooper's Green?
The closest is Buxted station, roughly 1.2 miles away.
Can you be flexible on serving time?
Within reason, we can. Give us a contact on the day and we will fit around changes.
Who serves?
Our chef carves and our staff serve, then clear the serving area afterwards.
Can the hog roast be cooked indoors?
It cooks outside, under a gazebo, on a level spot. The food can be carried in and served indoors where the venue allows.
What do you need from us on the day?
Just the agreed spot and a contact on the day. We bring the roaster, cover and serving kit.
What paperwork do you provide?
Requirements vary. Let us know what you need.
Do you do charity events?
We’re happy to talk it through and we will see what’s possible.
For planners, venues and organisers
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so it is worth asking first. We’ll liaise with them on access and set-up.
Planning on behalf of a committee? One clear contact makes everything easier, particularly when timings shift.
Allergies and dietary needs
Some visitors won’t eat pork, so it’s worth adding an alternative. Helpful tips:
- Share the event’s food safety requirements with us
- Plan separately for halal if needed
- Gluten-free rolls can be brought on request
- Check other traders aren’t all selling pork
At the end, we pack down and take our waste.
Tell us about any theme, such as a vintage fête.
What happens on the day
Here’s how the day normally runs: the roaster goes up and the hog goes on, the pork cooks slowly for hours, and we carve and serve at the agreed time. In December, Cooper's Green is dark by about 3:55pm, so plan lights for the stall and the queue.
- It starts with your event date, site and expected numbers.
- We check access to the pitch and send a price.
- We set up early so the roast is ready when visitors arrive.
- We carve and serve through the agreed hours.
- We pack up and leave the pitch tidy.
Getting ready for the day
- Think about shelter for your visitors
- Let us know about tight access
- Choose someone to meet us on arrival

What comes off the roaster
Roast pork
Everything starts with the slow-roasted pork: carved in front of you, a mix of shoulder and leg, and served hot.
Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
Let us know numbers for the vegan option, and we’ll plan the vegan burgers or sausages.
Catered or do it yourself?
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from early set-up to carving at the end. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
We also hire out the hog roast machine for confident cooks. You do the roasting and carving; we will confirm what comes with it when you ask.
- Slow-roasted on site for hours, outdoors at your event
- Carved by our chef into rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- Lamb, chicken and vegetarian options alongside the pork
- Served by our staff at the time you choose, then cleared away
