Common questions in Shover's Green
Is Shover's Green too small for a hog roast?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Could you cook in Wadhurst Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, usually the council, and many parks don’t allow cooking. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
What if things run late?
We’ll be as flexible as we can. Give us a contact on the day and we’ll fit around changes.
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’ll bring the rest.
Can you do gluten-free?
We can supply gluten-free rolls on request. You will get allergen details for everything.
Do you do fêtes?
A hog roast suits a fête perfectly. Ask for details.
Can you help with a fundraiser?
We are happy to talk it through.
What comes with the hog roast?
Rolls with roast pork, stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. You can add lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options, salads, coleslaw and potatoes.
Catered or do it yourself?
If you are confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You cook and carve it yourself; we’ll confirm what comes with it when you ask.
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.
