Questions from East Guldeford
What about windy coastal sites?
Yes, of course. We roast under cover and choose a sheltered spot where we can.
Is East Guldeford too small for a hog roast?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Can you cook inside a hall or marquee?
It cooks outside, under a gazebo, on a level spot. Serving indoors is generally fine if the venue is happy.
How far ahead should we book?
The earlier the better for popular dates. But it is always worth asking: fill in our quote form.
Where does the hog roast go?
Enough level ground outdoors for the roaster and a serving table under cover, plus a step-free route to wheel the equipment in. Send us a photo if you’re unsure.
Do you offer gluten-free rolls?
Ask for gluten-free rolls and we will bring them. You will get allergen details for everything.
Do we need our own staff?
We carve and serve for you, and we clear up when service is finished.
Can you cater for vegetarians?
The menu has lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options. Halal meat is not something we offer.

Full catering or machine hire?
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.
