Common questions in Broyle Side
Do you come out to small places like Broyle Side?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
We are gathering after a service at The Parish Church of St Mary the Virgin: can you cater?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Churches rarely have space for a hog roast, so the food is generally elsewhere. Tell us where you’ll gather.
Can you serve on plates?
Either: plates with sides or simple rolls.
Do you need anything from the family?
Not much: an outdoor cooking spot and someone to meet us.
Do we need our own staff?
We carve and serve for you, and we clear up when service is finished.
Can you cater at home?
Homes, halls, clubs and venues, given an outdoor cooking area.
What if things run late?
Within reason, we can. Keep us posted on the day and we’ll adjust.
Do you do DIY hog roast hire?
DIY machine hire is available. We will explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
