- A contact for the day who isn’t immediate family
- A level spot outdoors for the roaster

FAQs for Corhampton
We are gathering after a service at Corhampton Church: can you cater?
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 generally elsewhere. Tell us where you’ll gather.
Do you come out to small places like Corhampton?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Do we need our own staff?
You do not need anyone else: our chef carves and our team serves and clears.
What happens in bad weather?
Rain does not stop the cooking. A marquee, hall or barn for eating makes all the difference.
Is crockery included?
Plates come as standard. China crockery is available on request and quoted separately.
Can you work around our timings?
Within reason, we can. Keep us posted on the day and we’ll adjust.
How much room do you need?
Enough level ground outdoors for the roaster and a serving table under cover, plus a step-free route to wheel the equipment in. Send us a photo if you are unsure.
What comes with the hog roast?
Roast pork carved into soft rolls with sage and onion stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. You can add lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options, salads, coleslaw and potatoes.
