DIY versus a catered hog roast
You could go for a cold buffet, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience, especially outdoors.
You could roast a hog yourself, but it is a long day’s work, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
Farthing Green: your questions answered
Is Farthing Green too small for a hog roast?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
How far is Farthing Green from London?
Roughly 37 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
Can you be flexible on serving time?
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 cater for vegetarians?
The menu has lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options. Halal meat isn’t something we offer.
Can the hog roast be cooked indoors?
The roaster always stays outside, under cover, away from buildings and marquee walls. We can frequently serve indoors if the venue agrees.
Is a hog roast OK for a sit-down meal?
It works well as a relaxed main meal, with alternatives for non-pork eaters.
Is a hog roast enough for a wedding?
Quantities are based on your guest list, and we will confirm it in writing.
Do you do DIY hog roast hire?
Yes, we hire out the hog roast machine. We will explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
For planners, venues and organisers
If you’re a venue or event planner, we can fit around your other suppliers, sharing timings and a site plan.
If the event is on someone else’s land, you will need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.

Later in the year, plan lighting: in December it’s dark by about 3:50pm.
