Your questions about a hog roast for the wake in Fittleworth
We’re gathering after a service at The Parish Church of St Mary: 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 usually elsewhere. Send us the address.
What’s the nearest station to Fittleworth?
The closest is Pulborough station, roughly 1.9 miles away.
Who serves?
We carve and serve for you, then clear the serving area afterwards.
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’ll confirm the space with your quote.
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.
Is there an alternative to pork?
We can add alternatives for those who need them.
Do we need to provide electricity?
No, the roast is cooked on gas. Tell us what’s available and we’ll plan around it.
Do you provide china?
Plates come as standard. If you’d like china, ask and we will add it to the quote.
Allergies and dietary needs
Tell us about dietary needs early and we’ll help. Tips:
- Ask us to label the vegetarian food
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed
- Plan separately if anyone needs halal food
- Give us numbers for the alternatives
Name a friend or relative as our contact, so the immediate family isn’t disturbed.
Gluten-free rolls are available on request.
How it works
We cook on a gas-fired roaster, so we do not need mains power to cook, though a socket nearby is handy for lighting. Autumn and winter afternoons in Fittleworth get dark early: about 7:05pm in late September and 4:00pm in December, so a later wake may need lighting outside.
- Share the date, place and rough numbers.
- You get a quick answer on the date, and a quote.
- The roast cooks while the service is under way.
- We serve when everyone arrives, calmly and without fuss.
- We tidy up and leave without fuss.
How to prepare
- Measure the narrowest gate or passage
- Plan somewhere sheltered for people to eat if it rains
- Keep the spot clear of buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches
