FAQs for Parker's Green
Is Parker's Green too small for a hog roast?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
We’re gathering after a service at St Andrew: can you cater?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Churches rarely have space for a hog roast, so the food is normally elsewhere. Send us the address.
Do you bring plates?
We supply plates as standard. China is available at an extra cost.
How soon do you get booked up?
The earlier the better for popular dates. But it’s always worth asking: fill in our quote form.
Will there be enough to go round?
We plan quantities from the numbers you give us, and we’ll confirm everything in writing.
What’s included?
Pork, stuffing, apple sauce and crackling in a soft roll. Your quote lists any sides and extras.
What meats can we have?
Add lamb or rotisserie chicken alongside the pork. Vegetarian and vegan options are available too.
Can we just hire the roaster?
DIY machine hire is available. We’ll confirm what comes with it and how to use it.
Planning the cooking spot
Before the day, it helps to think about where the roaster will go. We look for:
- Flat outdoor ground for the roaster and a gazebo
- Space away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches
- Permission from the venue or landowner

The process
We roast under cover, so a shower won’t spoil the food. It’s worth planning a sheltered place for people to eat, too. Light matters for a long roast: around Parker's Green, it stays light until about 9:20pm at midsummer, while in December the light goes at about 3:55pm, so winter bookings need lighting from mid-afternoon.
