Diets, allergies and alternatives

- Stuffing normally contains gluten
We serve when people arrive, quietly and respectfully.
Serve on plates with salads and potatoes for a sit-down meal.
Is a hog roast right for your wake?
Compared with a cold buffet, a warm plated meal is more comforting. Extras such as lamb, chicken, more sides or china crockery add to the cost, so each one is itemised. Keeping it simple keeps it affordable.

Common questions in Hedgerley Green
Can you cater after a service at Parish Church of St Mary the Virgin?
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 normally elsewhere. Tell us where you’ll gather.
How far is Hedgerley Green from London?
Roughly 22 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
Is mains power needed?
The roaster runs on gas, so we do not need mains power to cook. Power can help with lighting after dark.
How much room do you need?
A flat, open spot outside, and a way to wheel everything in. A photo helps.
Do you serve rolls or plates?
Both are possible: plates with sides or simple rolls.
What should we sort out beforehand?
The agreed cooking area, access for our equipment and someone to meet us. We will bring the rest.
What about coeliacs?
We can provide gluten-free rolls if you ask. Stuffing generally contains gluten, so check the allergen information.
Does the roaster have to be outside?
It cooks outside, under a gazebo, on a level spot. Serving indoors is usually fine if the venue is happy.
The menu, dish by dish
