Questions from Iver Heath
Which station is closest to Iver Heath?
The closest is Iver station, roughly 2.1 miles away.
Can you cater after a service at Church of St Margaret?
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 normally elsewhere. Send us the address.
What’s the price?
Each event is priced on its own, based on numbers, menu, service time and distance. Ask us for a quote.
Does the roaster have to be outside?
It cooks outside, under a gazebo, on a level spot. The food can be carried in and served indoors where the venue allows.
Can you do gluten-free?
We can provide gluten-free rolls if you ask. Ask for the allergen list, as stuffing normally contains gluten.
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.
Do you provide china?
Plates are included. China is available at an extra cost.
What happens after service?
We pack everything away after service, and we take our equipment with us.
Looking after everyone
Tell us about dietary needs early and we’ll help. Tips:
- Stuffing normally contains gluten
- Give us numbers for the alternatives
- Plan separately if anyone needs halal food
- Keep the alternatives labelled
We clear away discreetly once everyone has eaten.
Rotisserie chicken is a good alternative for those who don’t eat pork.
Organising for someone else?
Some venues add a fee for outside caterers, so check before you book. We will liaise with them on access and set-up.
Many venues set rules for outside caterers, including where gas cooking is allowed. Ask early, and tell us what they ask for.
