FAQs for Stanton St John
Which station is closest to Stanton St John?

Is Stanton St John 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.
What happens in bad weather?

How far ahead should we book?
The earlier the better for popular dates. But it is always worth asking: send us your details through our quote form.

The roaster always stays outside, under cover, away from buildings and marquee walls. We can frequently serve indoors if the venue agrees.
When do you start roasting?
It depends on the size of the hog and the weather, but it is several hours. You will know our arrival time in advance.
Do you come to Stanton St John?
Yes, Stanton St John is in our area. Send us the address and we will check the date.
Can you serve inside our office or hall?
The roaster stays outside under cover; serving can be indoors.

Allergies and dietary needs
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. Here are a few tips:
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed
- Keep vegetarian food labelled
- Count who does not eat pork
- Plan separately for anyone who needs halal food
The cooking area and the path to it need lighting after dark, so tell us what’s already there.
Lights around the carving station add atmosphere.
What happens on the day
The roaster is gas-fired, so cooking does not depend on mains power; a nearby socket helps with lights if service runs into the evening. By about 3:55pm in late December, Stanton St John is dark. Evening Christmas parties need a well-lit carving station, and a lit path from the door.
- Ask early for a December date.
- We check your venue and send a quote.
- We arrive while it is light and set up under cover.
- We serve pork, turkey and sides.
- We tidy up and leave.
