What if it rains?
We roast under cover, so the food is not affected. Your guests will want somewhere dry to eat.

Do children like hog roasts?
Yes, and tell us how many children are coming, so we get the amounts right.
What happens after service?
We pack everything away after service, so you are not left with the mess.
Who serves?
Our chef carves and our staff serve, then clear the serving area afterwards.
Organising for someone else?
Marquee hire companies often have rules about cooking near their tents, so tell them a hog roast is coming. We’ll keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.
If you’re planning an event on someone’s behalf, whether you are a planner, a PA or on a committee, tell us who our contact on the day will be. We will keep you both updated.
What affects the price in Birchett's Green
Each booking is quoted on its own, and the price depends on a few things:
- Numbers
- How easy it is to reach the spot
- Travel to Birchett's Green
- Whether you want china
A hog roast is often good value for a crowd, since one roast goes a long way. The menu, extras such as china and the serving time all affect the final price.
Details that help
To check the date and the space, tell us:
- Rough numbers
- The date and time of the event
- Any venue rules
- Your menu choices
We price every booking individually, based on numbers, menu, timings and distance. Ask us for a quote for your party: send us your details through our quote form.
Looking after everyone
Allergies and dietary needs are easy to manage if we know in advance. Some ideas:
- Tell us how many vegetarians and vegans to expect
- Let us know roughly how many children
- Collect dietary needs when guests reply
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten
If the party runs late, the roast can wait a little, so tell us if timings change.
Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed.
Catered or do it yourself?
We also hire out the hog roast machine for confident cooks. You do the roasting and carving; we will confirm what comes with it when you ask.
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is normally easier.

Sunset in Birchett's Green is about 8:50pm in late May and 9:15pm in late June, so most summer parties eat in daylight. Winter parties, dark by about 3:55pm, need lights by the roaster.

- We confirm it works and send a quote.
- We cook for hours on site.
- We serve when you are ready.
- We clear up so you do not have to.
