Planning for dietary needs
A hog roast is pork, so plan for anyone who does not eat it. Some ways to look after everyone:
- Keep the alternatives labelled
- Give us numbers for the alternatives
- Halal isn’t offered, so arrange it separately
- Stuffing typically contains gluten
We dress smartly and keep a low profile throughout.
Serve on plates with salads and potatoes for a sit-down meal.
What we serve, dish by dish
Stuffing and apple sauce
Stuffing and a dollop of apple sauce turn a pork roll into a hog roast roll, just as they should.
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
We can serve in rolls or on plates, with gluten-free rolls on request.
What the cooking area needs
Most outdoor spaces can work with a little planning. Here’s what helps:
- A friend or relative we can call
- Somewhere indoors for people to eat
- A safe distance from the hall

Bisley: your questions answered
Is Bisley close to London?
About 26 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
We’re gathering after a service at Church of St John the Baptist: can you cater?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Food is typically served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you will gather.
What do we need to organise?
Just the venue, rough numbers and a contact for the day. We bring everything else.
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.
Is it a sit-down meal?
Plates come as standard, and china is available on request.
How much room do you need?
A level, open area outdoors with room for the roaster, a gazebo and a carving table, well clear of walls, tents and branches. We will check it with you before booking.
Can you wait?
We wait: we hold the food until people arrive.
Can you cater for vegetarians?
We can add lamb or chicken, plus halloumi skewers for vegetarians and a vegan burger or sausage. We do not provide halal meat.

How it works
A typical booking goes like this: the roaster goes up and the hog goes on, the pork cooks slowly for hours, and we carve and serve at the agreed time. Summer evenings in Bisley stay light until about 9:20pm, so a garden gathering works well.
- Get in touch when the date is set.
- We confirm the space.
- We set up and roast on the day.
- Our staff serve without fuss.
- We tidy up and go.
Preparing for the day
- Give us a contact number for the day
- Plan somewhere sheltered for people to eat if it rains
- Have a level outdoor spot ready
