Common questions in South Green
Can you do a hog roast in Stockbury Hill Wood?
Only if the landowner, normally the council, allows it. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
Is South Green too small for a hog roast?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
Can we cook it ourselves?
Yes, for confident cooks. Catering is the easier option.
How soon do you get booked up?
The earlier the better for popular dates. But it’s always worth asking: fill in our quote form.
What about kids?
Most children like pork in a soft roll, with chicken as an alternative.
What about coeliacs?
We can supply gluten-free rolls on request. We’ll give you full allergen information for every dish.
Can you cater in South Green?
Yes. We cover London and the South East, South Green and the rest of Kent included. Send us the address for a quote.
Can the hog roast be cooked indoors?
No, the roast is always cooked outdoors under cover, away from buildings and marquee walls. We can frequently serve indoors if the venue agrees.
How our party hog roast works in South Green
If you’d rather cook yourself, DIY machine hire is an option. Most hosts prefer us to do it, and spend time with their guests. For big family get-togethers and garden parties, we can cook rotisserie chicken, crackling and apple sauce.
Near South Green, parties are frequently in gardens or fields. Tell us about lanes and ground, and we’ll handle the rest. Everything is cooked on the day, at your venue, low and slow, for hours.
Is a hog roast right for your party?
Next to a barbecue, no one gets stuck at the grill, and everyone eats together. Midweek and quieter months are often easier to book, and the menu you choose matters too. Tell us your budget and we’ll suggest what works.

DIY versus a catered hog roast
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.
You could go for a cold buffet, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you, especially outdoors.
Planners, venues and businesses
For events on land you don’t own, such as a park or field, you’ll need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so check before booking. We’ll liaise with them on access and set-up.
Allergies and dietary needs
Not everyone eats pork, so it is worth adding an alternative. A few pointers:
- Ask us to label vegetarian and vegan food
- Find out who does not eat pork so we can bring chicken or a vegetarian option
- Let us know roughly how many children
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if anyone needs them
We set up where we agreed and stay out of the way, leaving the garden to you and your guests.
Add coleslaw, salads and jacket potatoes to make it a full meal.

Service is quick once we start carving: our chef carves and our staff fill the rolls or plates, and sides go out at the same time. Afterwards we clear the serving area and pack away.

What comes off the roaster
Rotisserie chicken
For guests who don’t eat pork, rotisserie chicken is the easy answer, and children generally like it too.
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Crunchy coleslaw suits roast pork, and salads and new potatoes work well on a plate.
Space, access and the venue
It is worth planning the cooking area in advance. We look for:
- Parking close to the house
- A level patio, lawn or driveway
- A spot well away from the house
