Common questions in Dunk's Green
Could you cook in Ivy Hatch Nature Reserve?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, usually the council, and many parks do not allow cooking. Ask them first.
Is Dunk's Green too small for a hog roast?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
Can we cook it ourselves?
If you are happy to roast and carve, yes. Most people prefer us to cook so they can enjoy the party.
Do you provide china?
Plates come as standard. If you’d like china, ask and we will add it to the quote.
Can you roast in the rain?
The roaster is under cover, so a shower doesn’t stop us. Plan somewhere sheltered for eating.
Do you do DIY hog roast hire?
We do, if you’re happy to roast and carve yourself. Ask and we’ll talk you through it.
Can you be flexible on serving time?
Within reason, we can. Keep us posted on the day and we will fit around changes.
Can you do a hog roast in our back garden?
Frequently, yes, if there’s a level spot away from the house and trees, and a way to wheel the equipment through. Send us a photo.
For planners, venues and organisers
If you are booking for a workplace, ask your facilities team about outside caterers and gas cooking. We work to the site’s rules.
If you are 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.
