What else we do in Plastow Green
Plastow Green: your questions answered
Is Plastow Green close to London?
Roughly 50 miles from the centre of London.
Do you come out to small places like Plastow Green?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Is crockery included?
Plates come as standard. China crockery is available on request and quoted separately.
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. Ask for the allergen list, as stuffing normally contains gluten.
What’s the price?
It depends on numbers, the menu and how long we’re on site. Send us the details and we will quote.
Where does the hog roast go?
Enough level ground outdoors for the roaster and a serving table under cover, and a way to wheel everything in. A picture helps.
Do you need power or water?
Cooking is gas-fired, so no mains power is needed for the roast. A socket nearby is useful for lighting.
A hog roast compared with other options
Next to a formal plated meal, a hog roast needs no kitchen and fewer staff, which typically keeps the cost down. The main driver is numbers: the price per head typically falls as numbers rise, since much of the cost is fixed.
Why Plastow Green hosts choose us
- Timed around your day
- Cooked on the day, low and slow

Allergies and dietary needs
Standard rolls and stuffing contain gluten, and gluten-free rolls are available on request. Other tips:
- Give us numbers for vegetarians and vegans for the halloumi skewers and vegan option
- Collect allergies with your RSVPs
- Label the vegetarian and vegan food clearly
- We do not offer halal meat, so arrange that separately if it’s needed
Slow roasting needs attention, and that’s what we’re there for. You can get on with your event.
Ask for gluten-free rolls for anyone who needs them.

What affects the price in Plastow Green
Every booking is priced individually, and the price depends on a few things:
- The journey to the venue
- Menu choices and extras
- Site access
- The serving time and how long we’re on site
Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. Slow roasting means we’re on site for much of the day, which is built into the price.

How it works
A typical booking goes like this: the roaster goes up and the hog goes on, the pork cooks slowly for hours, and our chef carves it when you are ready. Evenings in Plastow Green stay light until about 9:25pm in June, but by late September sunset is around 7:10pm; after dark, the serving area and the path to it need good lighting.
- We start with a few details about your event.
- We check the date and the cooking spot, then send a quote.
- Timings and the cooking area are agreed in advance.
- On the day we roast for hours, then carve to order.
- Our staff serve and clear, then we pack away.
Getting ready for the day
- Give us final numbers a week or so before
- Choose a level, open spot outdoors for the roaster
- Check there’s a route to wheel the equipment in, without steps

Full catering or machine hire?
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.
If you’re confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You cook and carve it yourself; we will confirm what comes with it when you ask.
What comes off the roaster
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Some guests will be vegetarian, and halloumi skewers give them a proper hot option.
Stuffing and apple sauce
Sharp, sweet apple sauce and savoury sage and onion stuffing go with the pork perfectly. Stuffing normally contains gluten.
Working with your venue
Marquee hire companies often have rules about cooking near their tents, so let them know about the roaster. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.
If you’re booking for a workplace, ask your facilities team about outside caterers and gas cooking. We work to the site’s rules.
- Slow-roasted on site for hours, outdoors at your event
- Carved by our chef into rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- Lamb, chicken and vegetarian options alongside the pork
- Our team serves at your chosen time and clears up afterwards
