About our party hog roast in Hook Green

Near Hook Green, parties are often in gardens or fields. Let us know about access, and we will handle the rest. Timings are planned around your party, working back from when you want to eat.
Prices and what affects them
Every booking is priced individually, and the price depends on a few things:
- Time on site
- How many people are eating
- Whether you want china
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
For larger numbers, a hog roast is normally good value, because one whole roast feeds a lot of people. Extras, china and longer service add to it.

Your questions about a hog roast for your party in Hook Green
Can you cater after a service at Church of St Nicholas?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Churches rarely have space for a hog roast, so the food is generally elsewhere. Send us the address.
Which station is closest to Hook Green?
Longfield station, about 1.2 miles south-west of the centre.
Do you bring a gazebo?
Not for the cooking, but plan somewhere dry for guests.
Can we hire the hog roast machine for our party?
Yes, DIY machine hire is available. We will explain what’s supplied and how it works.
Can we hire the machine and cook it ourselves?
DIY machine hire is available. We will confirm what comes with it and how to use it.
What’s the price?
Each event is priced on its own, depending on numbers, menu, timings and travel. Ask us for a quote.
Will a hog roast fit in our garden?
Often, yes, if there is a level spot away from the house and trees, and a way to wheel the equipment through. A photo helps.
What should we sort out beforehand?
A clear, level cooking spot, a route to wheel the equipment in and a contact for the day. We will bring the rest.
Step by step
We get there well ahead of service, because a whole hog takes hours to roast. Your guests will smell it long before they see it. A summer party in Hook Green stays light until about 9:20pm at midsummer, so a garden party can run well into the evening. By late September sunset is around 7:00pm, so plan festoon lights for later parties.

Planning for dietary needs
Allergies and dietary needs are easy to manage if we know in advance. Some ideas:
- Count non-pork eaters for the alternatives
- Request gluten-free rolls
- Let us know roughly how many children
- Give us numbers for vegetarians and vegans
Clear the route to the garden before we arrive, so we can wheel the equipment in.
Gluten-free rolls are available on request.
What comes off the roaster
Stuffing and apple sauce
Sharp, sweet apple sauce and savoury sage and onion stuffing go with the pork perfectly. Note that stuffing usually contains gluten.
Rotisserie chicken
Rotisserie chicken is a simple, popular alternative to pork, turned until the skin is golden.
- Cooked where you are, slowly, over several hours outdoors
- Carved by our chef into rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- Options beyond pork, including lamb, chicken and vegetarian dishes
- Staff to serve at the agreed time, then clear away
