Is a hog roast right for your party?
Compared with a buffet, a hog roast is hot and freshly carved, and nothing sits out all afternoon. Numbers make the biggest difference: bigger groups normally cost less per head, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.

About the food

FAQs for Middlegreen
Can you do a hog roast in Ditton Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, typically the council, and many parks don’t allow cooking. Ask them first.
How far is Middlegreen from London?
Roughly 20 miles from the centre of London.
Can we cook it ourselves?
You can hire the machine. We’ll explain what’s supplied and how it works.
Can you roast in the rain?
We roast under cover, so the food isn’t affected. Your guests will want somewhere dry to eat.
Do you bring plates and clear up?
We tidy the serving area.
Can you cook inside a hall or marquee?
It cooks outside, under a gazebo, on a level spot. The food can be carried in and served indoors where the venue allows.
Do you bring plates?
Plates are included. You can upgrade to china if you prefer.
Do you offer gluten-free rolls?
Gluten-free rolls are available on request. Stuffing usually contains gluten, so check the allergen information.
How it works
The secret is time: hours of gentle heat make the pork soft and juicy while the skin turns into crackling. Then it rests briefly before our chef carves. For an evening party in Middlegreen, think about light: it’s light until about 9:25pm in June but only about 7:05pm in late September. A string of lights over the serving table works wonders.
- Tell us about your party: date, address and numbers.
- We check the space and send a price.
- We set up hours ahead.
- We carve and serve at food time.
- We clear the serving area and go.
Preparing for the day
- Plan a step-free way in for the equipment
- Check there’s nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat
- Think about shelter for your guests

Planning the cooking spot
Planning the cooking spot is the key. Check these:
- A gazebo, marquee or room indoors for guests if it rains
- A step-free way into the garden
- A level spot in the garden, on the patio or drive
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before you book.
From the roaster
- Halloumi skewers (V)
- Crackling
- Coleslaw
- Jacket potatoes
- Rotisserie chicken
- Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
- Hog roast rolls
- Stuffing and apple sauce
- Salads
Looking after everyone
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. Here are a few tips:
- Check the allergen list, as stuffing typically contains gluten
- Give us numbers for vegetarians and vegans
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if anyone needs them
- Think about children’s portions
On the day, we arrive hours before the party starts, so it’s cooking when guests arrive.
Add coleslaw, salads and jacket potatoes to make it a full meal.
Catered or do it yourself?
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.
If you’re confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You do the roasting and carving; we’ll explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
Working with your venue
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so check before you book. We will liaise with them on access and set-up.
Marquee hire companies frequently have rules about cooking near their tents, so tell them a hog roast is coming. We’ll keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.
