Bury's Bank questions
How far is Bury's Bank from London?
About 52 miles from central London, and well within our area.
Could you cook in New Greenham Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, generally the council, and many parks don’t allow cooking. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
What’s the price?
Each event is priced on its own, based on numbers, menu, service time and distance. Tell us about your event for a quote.
Can we just hire the roaster?
DIY machine hire is available. We’ll confirm what comes with it and how to use it.
What should we sort out beforehand?
The agreed cooking area, access for our equipment and someone to meet us. We’ll bring the rest.
Do you cook it or do we?
We offer full catering and DIY machine hire. Your quote will set out what’s included.
How long does the roast need?
A whole hog roasts for several hours, so we arrive well before you want to eat. We work back from your serving time.
Can the hog roast be cooked indoors?
The roaster always stays outside, under cover, at a safe distance from walls and tents. We can often serve indoors if the venue agrees.

Allergies and dietary needs
Standard rolls and stuffing contain gluten, and gluten-free rolls are available on request. A few more tips:
- Put the menu on the invitation
- Label the vegetarian and vegan food clearly
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if anyone needs them
- If anyone needs halal food, plan a separate option
We bring the cover, the carving table and the serving kit, so you only need to provide the space.
Add lamb or chicken for a second roast.
Catered or do it yourself?
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is generally easier.
Full catering or machine hire? With catering, our chef roasts, carves and serves, and our staff clear up. With DIY hire, you do the work and save on staffing.
