Booking for a club or group? A single point of contact keeps things simple, especially on the day.
Before you choose a spot

- Permission for cooking on the site
- Access for our vehicle to the pitch
- Any paperwork the organisers need
Not sure about the cooking spot? Send us a picture and we’ll tell you honestly.

Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
A hog roast alongside cakes and teas gives visitors a good choice. Numbers make the biggest difference: bigger groups typically cost less per head, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.
Why Swaile's Green hosts choose us
- Crackling for everyone who wants it
- Timed around your day
- Fresh carving at the serving station
- Self-contained: roaster, cover and serving kit
