Looking after everyone
You will get allergen information for everything we serve. To make the most of it:
- Collect allergies with your RSVPs
- We do not offer halal meat, so arrange that separately if it is needed
- Label the vegetarian and vegan food clearly
- Tell us about vegetarians and vegans for the halloumi skewers and vegan option
The roaster needs looking after for hours, which is our job, not yours. You can get on with your event.
We can supply china instead of standard plates, at an extra cost.
How we price a hog roast
We do not use a fixed price list, because every event is different. What matters most:
- How long the roast and service take
- Travel to Berry's Green
- Plates or china
- Access to the cooking area
Compare like for like: the menu, sides, service time, staffing, crockery and travel. A cheaper headline price can leave things out.
Details that help
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what to include:
- Roughly how many people
- Anything the venue has asked for
- Your menu choices
- Where the event is
Getting a quote is simple: tell us when, where, how many and what time you’d like to eat. We’ll reply with a clear price and what’s included. Fill in our quote form.
Berry's Green questions
Can you do a hog roast at a venue in the Kent Downs National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about cooking and vehicles, so check with yours. We will work to whatever the site needs.
Which station is closest to Berry's Green?
The closest is Chelsfield station, roughly 3.6 miles away.
What happens after service?
Our staff clear the serving area, and we take our equipment with us.
What if things run late?
Within reason, we can. Give us a contact on the day and we will adjust.
Can we have lamb or chicken?
It is built around the hog, but lamb and chicken can be added.
How do we prepare?
The agreed cooking area, access for our equipment and someone to meet us. We bring everything else.
How long does a hog roast take to cook?
It depends on the size of the hog and the weather, but it is several hours. You will know our arrival time in advance.
Do we need to provide electricity?
Not to cook, because the roaster is gas-fired. Let us know what’s on site.
Is a hog roast right for your event?
The obvious catch is that a hog roast is pork. So we offer lamb, chicken and vegetarian and vegan choices too. Distance is part of the price: travel is included in your quote, with any London charges listed. Give us the address for an accurate figure.
Why Berry's Green hosts choose us
- The classics: stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- Cooked on the day, low and slow
- Halloumi skewers and a vegan option too
- Carved to order by a chef
Should I cook it myself?
If you’re confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You do the roasting and carving; we’ll explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.
How it works
We get there well ahead of service, because a whole hog takes hours to roast. Your guests will smell it long before they see it. Around midsummer it stays light in Berry's Green until about 9:20pm; by late September sunset is nearer 7:05pm, so a summer evening hog roast is normally carved in daylight. In December it’s dark by about 3:55pm, so the cooking and serving area needs lighting.
- First, you send us your date, address, numbers and serving time.
- You get a check on the date and the spot, and a quote.
- We arrive well ahead, put the cover up and get the hog roasting.
- At serving time, the chef carves and the team serves.
- Afterwards we clear up and leave the spot tidy.
How to prepare
- Check there is nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat
- Choose a level, open spot outdoors for the roaster
- Name a contact for the day
Ask for a quote

Before you choose a spot
The cooking area is the main thing to plan. Check these:
- Vehicle access close to the cooking area
- Nothing overhead that could catch the heat
- A sheltered place for people to eat if it rains
As a London location, Berry's Green is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and access takes planning: tell us about side or rear access, steps and parking for our vehicle.
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before you book.
