Questions from Little Atherfield
Is Little Atherfield 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 do you handle allergies?
We provide full allergen information for every dish. Stuffing generally contains gluten, and gluten-free rolls are available.
Can you roast in the rain?
Rain does not stop the cooking. Somewhere covered for people to eat helps.
How much does a hog roast cost?
It depends on numbers, the menu and how long we’re on site. Send us the details and we will quote.
Can you do soft food?
Modified meals should come from your kitchen. We will share allergen and menu details.
What do you need from us on the day?
Just the agreed spot and a contact on the day. We bring the roaster, cover and serving kit.
How far ahead should we book?
Summer Saturdays and December book up first. Quieter dates can frequently be booked at shorter notice. Send your date and we’ll check.
When do you start roasting?
A whole hog roasts for several hours, which is why we arrive hours ahead. We plan the timings from when you want to eat.
