Phoenix Green questions
Which station is closest to Phoenix Green?
Winchfield station, about 0.7 miles south of the centre.
How far is Phoenix Green from London?
Roughly 38 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
What meats can we have?
Pork is the classic, and you can add spit-roast lamb or rotisserie chicken. There are vegetarian and vegan options as well.
Do we need our own staff?
Our chef carves and our staff serve, and we clear up when service is finished.
Can you roast in the rain?
The roaster is under cover, so a shower doesn’t stop us. Plan somewhere sheltered for eating.
Is our garden big enough?
Many gardens are big enough, as long as we can get the equipment in. Send us a picture.
What about coeliacs?
We can provide gluten-free rolls if you ask. Stuffing usually contains gluten, so check the allergen information.
How do you work out quantities?
We plan quantities from the numbers you give us, and we’ll talk it through when we quote.
Hog roast hire in Phoenix Green, carved to order
Slow-roasted pork carved to order: that is hog roast hire in Phoenix Green. The classic roll comes with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling, and you can add sides and other meats. For village fêtes and school fairs and birthdays and anniversaries, we’ll put together a menu of hog roast rolls, halloumi skewers and coleslaw for your guests.
Somewhere as small as Phoenix Green, a field, yard or garden is frequently the spot. Country lanes and long drives are fine if we know about them, and level, firm ground is the key. You will know what’s included before you book: serving times, the menu, staff and anything else agreed.

Why choose a hog roast in Phoenix Green?
Compared with a barbecue, a hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone, instead of food coming off the grill in batches. See our guide to hog roast or barbecue. UK price guides vary widely: roughly £10 a head for a simple roll, rising past £20 with more included. We quote every event individually, so you know exactly what you are paying for.

Crackling
The skin crisps up over the hours of roasting, and there is a piece for everyone who wants it.

For vegetarians, halloumi and vegetable skewers are cooked separately from the meat, so they get something hot and satisfying too.
