FAQs for Trash Green
Is Trash Green close to London?
About 42 miles from central London.
Is Trash Green too small for a hog roast?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Will there be enough to go round?
The roast is chosen to suit how many you’re feeding, so a good estimate matters. We will confirm the menu in the quote.

Yes. We cover London and the South East, including Trash Green and Reading. Send us the address for a quote.
Do you do DIY hog roast hire?
Yes, we hire out the hog roast machine. We’ll confirm what comes with it and how to use it.
Who serves?
You don’t need anyone else: our chef carves and our team serves and clears.
What if things run late?
Because the roast takes hours, we plan from your serving time, and we can hold the roast for a while if the day runs behind.
Can you do a hog roast in our back garden?
Frequently, yes, if there is a level spot away from the house and trees, and a way to wheel the equipment through. A photo helps.
What happens on the day
Serving is straightforward: our chef carves and our staff fill the rolls or plates, and sides go out at the same time. When everyone has eaten, we clear up and leave the spot tidy. At midsummer, it’s light in Trash Green until about 9:25pm, so a garden party can run well into the evening. By late September sunset is around 7:10pm, so plan festoon lights for later parties.

Allergies and dietary needs
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. A few tips:
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten
- Count non-pork eaters so we can bring chicken or a vegetarian option
- Give us numbers for vegetarians and vegans
- Ask us to label vegetarian and vegan food
On the day, we arrive hours before the party starts, so the smell is the first thing guests notice.
A string of lights by the carving station looks great as it gets dark.

The menu, dish by dish
Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
Vegan guests can have a vegan burger or sausage, so nobody misses out.
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Some guests will be vegetarian, so halloumi and vegetable skewers make sure they’re not left with just salad.
Full catering or machine hire?
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is generally easier.
Full catering or machine hire? With catering, our chef roasts, carves and serves, and our staff clear up. With hire only, you do the cooking yourself.
