FAQs for Forty Green
Is Forty Green close to London?
Roughly 26 miles from the centre of London.
Do you cater at venues in the Chilterns National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for caterers; ask your venue. We will work to whatever the site needs.
When should we book?
The earlier the better for popular dates. But do ask even at short notice: use our quote form.
Can we hire the machine and cook it ourselves?
Yes, for confident cooks. We’ll explain the details with your quote.
How much room do you need?
Enough level ground outdoors for the roaster and a serving table under cover, plus a step-free route to wheel the equipment in. Send us a picture if you are unsure.
Can you do a school fair?
We do. Check vehicle access with the school.
Do you trade at village fêtes?
A hog roast suits a fête perfectly. Ask for details.
Can you cook inside a hall or marquee?
It cooks outside, under a gazebo, on a level spot. Serving indoors is typically fine if the venue is happy.
DIY versus a catered hog roast
You could roast a hog yourself, but it is a long day’s work, from early set-up to carving at the end. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.
Step by step
Serving is straightforward: our chef carves and our staff fill the rolls or plates, with the sides served alongside. When everyone has eaten, we clear up and leave the spot tidy. In late May, sunset in Forty Green is about 8:55pm, and midsummer ones until about 9:25pm. After dark, the stall needs lighting.
