Catered or do it yourself?

Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.
FAQs for Dora's Green
Is Dora's Green too small for a hog roast?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Can you cater after a service at St Mary's Church?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby with an outdoor spot for the roaster. Churches rarely have space for a hog roast, so the food is normally elsewhere. Send us the address.
Can the hog roast be cooked indoors?
No, the roast is always cooked outdoors under cover, away from buildings and marquee walls. We can frequently serve indoors if the venue agrees.
Can you be flexible on serving time?
We’ll be as flexible as we can. Keep us posted on the day and we will fit around changes.
How much room do you need?
A level, open area outdoors with room for the roaster, a gazebo and a carving table, well clear of walls, tents and branches. We will check it with you before booking.
Do you cover Dora's Green?
We do. Send us the address and we’ll check the date.
What do people get?
The classic: pork in rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. Your quote lists any sides and extras.
What happens in bad weather?
The roaster is under cover, so a shower doesn’t stop us. Plan somewhere sheltered for eating.

Allergies and dietary needs
Not everyone eats pork, so it is worth adding an alternative. Helpful tips:
- Request gluten-free rolls
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten
- Halal isn’t offered, so arrange it separately if needed
- Keep the vegetarian option labelled
We get there early to start the roast, so it is cooking when guests arrive.
Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed.
