FAQs for Dragons Green
Is Dragons 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.

We can add lamb or chicken, plus halloumi skewers for vegetarians and a vegan burger or sausage. We do not provide halal meat.

We bring plates and clear up after service.

Our staff clear up after service, and leave the area tidy.
Can we just hire the roaster?
DIY machine hire is available. We will explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
Is mains power needed?
Not to cook, because the roaster is gas-fired. Let us know what’s on site.
When do you start roasting?
A whole hog roasts for several hours, which is why we arrive hours ahead. We work back from your serving time.
How it works
Rain does not stop the roast, because we cook under cover. It’s worth planning a sheltered place for people to eat, too. Sunset in Dragons Green is about 8:50pm in late May and 9:20pm in late June, so an early-evening carve is generally in daylight. After about 3:55pm in December, we need light to carve.

Catered or do it yourself?
Catered or DIY? With catering, our chef roasts, carves and serves, and our staff clear up. With DIY hire, you do the work and save on staffing.
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is usually easier.
Planners, venues and businesses
Some venues add a fee for outside caterers, so check before you book. We’ll work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.
If the event is on someone else’s land, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
