Horton-cum-Studley: your questions answered
Could you cook in Katie and George Park?
Only if the landowner, normally the council, allows it. Ask them first.
Can you cater after a service at Church of St Barnabas?
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. Send us the address.
Do you leave the area tidy?
Our staff clear the serving area, and we take our equipment with us.
Can you cook inside a hall or marquee?
The roaster always stays outside, under cover, away from buildings and marquee walls. We can frequently serve indoors if the venue agrees.
Do you bring plates?
Plates come as standard. China crockery is available on request and quoted separately.
Do we need to provide electricity?
Cooking is gas-fired, so no mains power is needed for the roast. Power can help with lighting after dark.
How do we prepare?
The agreed cooking area, access for our equipment and someone to meet us. We will bring the rest.
Can you cater for vegetarians?
Add lamb, chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers or a vegan option. Please note we do not offer halal meat.

Planners, venues and businesses
Planning on behalf of a committee? One clear contact makes everything easier, particularly when timings shift.
Many venues set rules for outside caterers, from approved lists to where a gas roaster can go. Check early, and pass on anything they need from us.
Planning for dietary needs
Allergies and dietary needs are easy to manage if we know in advance. Some ideas:
- Count anyone who doesn’t eat pork
- Stuffing typically contains gluten, so check the allergen list
- Older guests may prefer food on plates
- Request gluten-free rolls
We dress smartly and keep a low profile.
Rotisserie chicken is a good alternative for those who do not eat pork.
