Bullbrook: your questions answered
Can you cater after a service at St Paul?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby with an outdoor spot for the roaster. Churches rarely have space for a hog roast, so the food is usually elsewhere. Tell us where you’ll gather.
Which station is closest to Bullbrook?
Martins Heron station, about 0.6 miles south of the centre.
What about coeliacs?
Gluten-free rolls are available on request. Stuffing normally contains gluten, so check the allergen information.
Is crockery included?
We supply plates as standard. China is available at an extra cost.
What space does the roaster need?
Roughly the footprint of a gazebo or two, on level ground, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging trees. We’ll check it with you before booking.
Can you do something else?
Yes, add chicken or a vegetarian option.
Can you work around our timings?
Because the roast takes hours, we plan from your serving time, and a cooked roast can be held for a while if things run late.
What comes with the hog roast?
Rolls with roast pork, stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. Extras include lamb, chicken, halloumi skewers, a vegan option, salads and potatoes.
Step by step
Your timings come first. If the day runs behind, we can hold the cooked roast for a while before carving, so keep us posted on the day. Autumn and winter afternoons in Bullbrook get dark early: about 7:05pm in late September and 3:55pm in December, so a later wake may need lighting outside.
- You tell us the date, the venue, rough numbers and when people will arrive.
- You get a quick answer on the date, and a quote.
- The roast cooks while the service is under way.
- We serve quietly as people gather.
- We tidy up and leave without fuss.
Preparing for the day
- Ask about allergies and dietary needs beforehand
- Confirm numbers ahead of the day
- Choose a level, open spot outdoors for the roaster
