Questions from Lower Green
Can you do a hog roast at a venue in the South Downs National Park?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for caterers; ask your venue. We will follow the site rules.
Is Lower Green too small for a hog roast?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Can you do a hog roast in our back garden?
Most gardens can work, given access for the equipment. Send us a picture.
Should we warn the neighbours?
It is worth warning them: roasting takes hours. Some hosts invite them over for a roll.
Do we need a marquee for a party hog roast?
We cover the cooking area, but a gazebo or indoor space for guests is a good backup.
What if things run late?
Within reason, we can. Keep us posted on the day and we will fit around changes.
Do you cover Lower Green?
Yes, Lower Green is in our area. Tell us the venue or postcode and we will confirm availability.
How long does the roast need?
Several hours, depending on the size and the weather, so we arrive well before you want to eat. We plan the timings from when you want to eat.
What happens on the day
The secret is time: the meat cooks gently until it is tender while the skin crisps into crackling. It rests for a short while before carving. In Lower Green, late May sunsets come at about 8:55pm and midsummer ones at about 9:20pm, so an early-evening carve is usually in daylight. After about 4:00pm in December, we need light to carve.
- Show us the garden or drive.

- Our staff serve rolls and sides.
- We leave the garden tidy.
How to prepare
