George Green questions
Is George Green too small for a hog roast?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
Can you cater after a service at Parish Church of St Mary?
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 typically elsewhere. Send us the address.
What should we sort out beforehand?
Just the agreed spot and a contact on the day. Everything for roasting and serving comes with us.
What should we provide?
Only the place, numbers and a contact. We bring everything else.
Do you offer gluten-free rolls?
Ask for gluten-free rolls and we will bring them. We’ll give you full allergen information for every dish.
Do you cater in village halls?
Homes, halls, clubs and venues, as long as there is an outdoor spot to cook.
Is there a non-pork option?
The menu has lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options. We do not provide halal meat.
Does the roaster have to be outside?
Outside, always. Serving indoors is generally fine if the venue is happy.
A hog roast compared with other options
If the hall or pub provides food, ask whether outside caterers are allowed. The main driver is numbers: bigger groups normally cost less per head, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.
