Questions from Chute Forest
Do you come out to small places like Chute Forest?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
Can you cater after a service at St Mary's Church?
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 usually elsewhere. Send us the address.
Is a week’s notice enough?
We’ll always try. Send the date and venue for a quick answer.
Do you need anything from the family?
Just the venue, rough numbers and a contact for the day. We’ll handle the rest.
Can you roast in the rain?
The roaster is under cover, so a shower doesn’t stop us. Plan somewhere sheltered for eating.
Do you leave the area tidy?
Our staff clear up after service, leaving the spot as we found it.
What should we sort out beforehand?
Just the agreed spot and a contact on the day. We bring the roaster, cover and serving kit.
Can you do something else?
We can add alternatives.
Working with your venue
Booking for a club or group? One clear contact makes everything easier, particularly when timings shift.

What comes off the roaster
Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
For vegans, there is a vegan burger or sausage in a roll, so everyone has something hot.
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
