In a small place like Stalisfield Green, a party in the garden or a nearby field is often the plan. Let us know about access, and we will plan the route. We plan the timings around your day, working back from when you want to eat, so the food is ready at the right moment.
FAQs for Stalisfield Green
Could you cook in Spuckles and Kennelling Woods?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, usually the council, and many parks do not allow cooking. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
Is Stalisfield Green too small for a hog roast?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
How do you work out quantities?
The roast is chosen to suit how many you are feeding, so a good estimate matters. We will confirm the menu in the quote.
Can you be flexible on serving time?
We will be as flexible as we can. Keep us posted on the day and we’ll adjust.
How soon do you get booked up?
The earlier the better for popular dates. But do ask even at short notice: send us your details through our quote form.
What about guests who do not eat pork?
Add lamb, chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers or a vegan option. Please note we don’t offer halal meat.
Do you leave the area tidy?
We pack everything away after service, and we take our equipment with us.
When do you start roasting?
Several hours, depending on the size and the weather, so we arrive well before you want to eat. We work back from your serving time.
The process
Expect a calm, organised set-up. Arrival and serving times are agreed beforehand, set up where we have agreed, and get on with roasting and serving. In Stalisfield Green, late May sunsets come at about 8:45pm and midsummer ones at about 9:15pm, so an early-evening carve is generally in daylight. Winter parties, dark by about 3:50pm, need lights by the roaster.
- Send us your party date, address, numbers and serving time.
- We check the date and the garden or drive, then send a quote.
- We arrive in good time and start roasting.
- When it’s time to eat, the chef carves and we serve.
- Afterwards we tidy up the serving area.
Preparing for the day
- Confirm numbers ahead of the day
- Check there’s nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat
- Choose someone to meet us on arrival

For planners, venues and organisers
If you are organising for someone else, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, let us know who we’ll deal with on the day. We will keep you both updated.
Venues frequently have rules for outside caterers, from approved lists to where a gas roaster can go. Ask early, and tell us what they ask for.
Should I cook it myself?
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is generally easier.
Planning for dietary needs
A hog roast is pork, so plan for anyone who does not eat it. Some ways to look after everyone:
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten
- Give us numbers for vegetarians and vegans
- Request gluten-free rolls
- Halal isn’t offered, so arrange it separately if needed
Warn the neighbours: roasting takes hours and the smell travels, and they may ask for a roll.
Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed.
Space, access and the venue
The roaster needs the right spot, because it cooks outside for several hours, so a few things are worth checking:
- Space for our vehicle near the drive
- A gazebo, marquee or room indoors for guests if it rains
- A heads-up for next door
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before you book.
Popular choices
- Stuffing and apple sauce
- Rotisserie chicken
- Coleslaw
- Crackling
- Salads
- Halloumi skewers (V)
- Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
- Jacket potatoes
- Hog roast rolls
