Questions from Underling Green
Is Underling Green too small for a hog roast?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
How far is Underling Green from London?
About 34 miles from central London.
What do you need from us on the day?
A clear, level cooking spot, a route to wheel the equipment in and a contact for the day. We will bring the rest.
Does the roaster have to be outside?
No, the roast is always cooked outdoors under cover, at a safe distance from walls and tents. We can often serve indoors if the venue agrees.
Can we have a hog roast as the main meal?
Of course: carved pork on plates with sides, and our staff serve your guests.
What do people get?
Pork, stuffing, apple sauce and crackling in a soft roll. Your quote lists any sides and extras.
How far ahead should we book?
As early as you can for summer weekends and December. Quieter dates can often be booked at shorter notice. Send your date and we’ll check.
How do you work out quantities?
We plan quantities from the numbers you give us, and we’ll talk it through when we quote.
Wedding hog roast in Underling Green, carved to order
Not every guest eats pork, so we plan for that: lamb, chicken, halloumi skewers or a vegan burger or sausage. Halal meat isn’t available. For home weddings and wedding breakfasts, we will put together a menu of halloumi skewers, rotisserie chicken and crackling for your guests.
A wedding in a small place like Underling Green frequently means a field, a barn or a family garden. That’s where a hog roast shines: no kitchen, just level ground and cover. Let us know about access and ground. Tell us about dietary needs and allergies when you enquire, and we’ll give you the allergen information for every dish before you book.
Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Compared with a barbecue, one roast feeds all your guests together without batches coming off a grill. Extras such as lamb, chicken, more sides or china crockery add to the cost, so each one is itemised. A simple menu keeps the cost down.
Why book with us
- Halloumi skewers and a vegan option too
- A choice of salads and potatoes
- We bring everything to cook and serve
- Serving and clearing done for you

For event organisers in Underling Green
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.
For workplace bookings, check with facilities about gas equipment and vehicle access. We’ll fit in with site rules.
Full catering or machine hire?
Full catering or machine hire? Catered means we do everything: roasting, carving, serving and clearing. With hire only, you do the cooking yourself.
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.

Looking after everyone
A hog roast is pork, so plan for anyone who doesn’t eat it. Some ways to look after everyone:
- Remember that stuffing usually contains gluten
- Confirm final numbers a week or so before
- Pass numbers for vegetarians and vegans to us
- Ask about dietary needs on your RSVP card
Evening food normally goes out an hour or two after the first dance.
Salads, new potatoes and roast potatoes make a full wedding breakfast.
