Common questions in Lions Green
Can you do a hog roast at a venue in the High Weald National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about cooking and vehicles, so check with yours. We’ll follow the site rules.
Is Lions Green close to London?
About 41 miles from central London.
What happens in bad weather?
We cook under a gazebo, so rain is not a problem for the roast. Somewhere covered for people to eat helps.
Do you trade at village fêtes?
We love fêtes. Get in touch.
Do we need our own staff?
We carve and serve for you, then clear the serving area afterwards.
Do you come to Lions Green?
We do. Send us the address and we’ll confirm availability.
Is there a non-pork option?
There are lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options: spit-roast lamb, rotisserie chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers or a vegan burger or sausage. Please note we do not offer halal meat.
What about coeliacs?
Ask for gluten-free rolls and we will bring them. We’ll give you full allergen information for every dish.
Hog roast for events near Lions Green
At a fête, fair or festival in Lions Green, a hog roast stall draws a crowd. We cook on site and carve to order, keeping the queue moving. We’re often asked to cater charity days and church and village fêtes, with a vegan burger or sausage, apple sauce and crackling.
A fête near Lions Green might be on a field with no mains power; the roaster runs on gas, so that’s fine. Plates come as standard, and china crockery is available on request, quoted separately.

What affects the price in Lions Green
We work out each quote from:
- Season and day of the week
- Time on site
- How many people are eating
- Plates or china
Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. A long, slow roast means an early start, which is built into the price.
What to tell us

- Where the event is
- Your date and serving time

Diets, allergies and alternatives
Tell us about dietary needs early and we will help. Tips:

Give us a contact on the day.
The vegan option is popular at festivals.
DIY versus a catered hog roast
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.

- We confirm the pitch and send a price.
- We set up early on the pitch.
- We serve as visitors arrive.
- We pack down and take our waste.
Preparing for the day
