- A word with the neighbours

Lyde Green: your questions answered
How far is Lyde Green from London?
Roughly 41 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
Can you cater after a service at Rotherwick Church?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby with an outdoor spot for the roaster. Churches rarely have space for a hog roast, so the food is typically elsewhere. Tell us where you will gather.
Do you provide china?
Plates come as standard. China crockery is available on request and quoted separately.
Is our garden suitable?
Describe the space and the way in, and we will give you an honest answer.
Do you do DIY hire for parties?
You can hire the machine. We’ll talk you through it when we quote.
Do we need to provide electricity?
Cooking is gas-fired, so no mains power is needed for the roast. A socket nearby is useful for lighting.
Can you work around our timings?
We will be as flexible as we can. Give us a contact on the day and we’ll adjust.
What about guests who don’t eat pork?
The menu has lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options. We do not provide halal meat.
Full catering or machine hire?
You could go for a cold buffet, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you, especially outdoors.
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.
