How our party hog roast works in Farleigh Green
Street parties and neighbourhood get-togethers suit a hog roast too, with the right permissions. We’re often asked to cater christenings and naming days and leaving and retirement do’s, serving a vegan burger or sausage, jacket potatoes and coleslaw.
In a small place like Farleigh Green, a party in the garden or a nearby field is frequently the plan. Tell us about lanes and ground, and we will handle the rest. Your quote spells out what’s included: the date, the serving time, the menu and the plates.
Where the roaster can go in Farleigh Green
The roaster needs space, cover and a safe distance from anything that could catch the heat. Before booking, check:
- A heads-up for next door
- A spot well away from the house
- A side gate or passage wide enough to wheel the equipment
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before booking.

Planners, venues and businesses
Planning on behalf of a committee? One clear contact makes everything easier, particularly when timings shift.
Marquee suppliers typically set distances for cooking equipment, so tell them a hog roast is coming. We’ll keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.
About the food
Stuffing and apple sauce
Sage and onion stuffing and apple sauce are the classic partners, balancing the rich, salty pork.
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Salads, new potatoes, coleslaw and roast or jacket potatoes turn rolls into a full meal, especially at a sit-down event.

Farleigh Green: your questions answered
Is Farleigh 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.
Could you cook in Quarry Wood?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, generally the council, and many parks do not allow cooking. Check with them first.
Can we hire the machine and cook it ourselves?
Yes, we hire out the hog roast machine. We’ll explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
Can you be flexible on serving time?
Because the roast takes hours, we plan from your serving time, and we can hold the roast for a while if the day runs behind.
Do you offer gluten-free rolls?
Gluten-free rolls are available on request. Stuffing normally contains gluten, so check the allergen information.
How much does a hog roast cost?
Every booking is quoted individually, based on numbers, menu, service time and distance. Ask us for a quote.
Does the roaster have to be outside?
Outside, always. The food can be carried in and served indoors where the venue allows.
When do you start roasting?
It depends on the size of the hog and the weather, but it is several hours. You will know our arrival time in advance.

DIY versus a catered hog roast
You could go for a cold buffet, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience.
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.
What a hog roast costs
The biggest factors are:
- The serving time and how long we’re on site
- Season and day of the week
- The journey to the venue
- How many people are eating
Numbers make the biggest difference: bigger groups typically cost less per head, since much of the cost is fixed.
Getting an accurate quote
When you enquire, it helps to include:
- Roughly how many people
- Your date and serving time

How the day works
Rain does not stop the roast, because we cook under cover. Your guests will still want somewhere dry to eat, such as a marquee, hall or barn. For an evening party in Farleigh Green, think about light: it’s light until about 9:15pm in June but only about 7:00pm in late September. Lights by the food keep the party going.
- Start with the date, the address and roughly how many.
- We check the garden or drive and quote.
- We set up hours ahead.
- We carve and serve at food time.
- We clear the serving area and go.
How to prepare
- Send final numbers in good time
- Have a level outdoor spot ready
- Collect dietary needs and allergies in advance
