Questions from Little Conghurst
We’re gathering after a service at Church of All Saints: 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. Tell us where you will gather.
Which station is closest to Little Conghurst?
Etchingham station, about 4.1 miles south-west of the centre.
Is crockery included?
Plates come as standard. China crockery is available on request and quoted separately.
Can we just hire the roaster?
DIY machine hire is available. We will confirm what comes with it and how to use it.
What about guests who don’t eat pork?
We can add alternatives for those who need them.
Can you work around our timings?
Because the roast takes hours, we plan from your serving time, and we can hold the roast for a while if the day runs behind.
Where can you serve a wake?
Most places, with an outdoor spot for cooking.
How quickly can you cater a wake?
We will always try. Send the date and venue for a quick answer.
