Lurgashall: your questions answered
We’re gathering after a service at The Parish Church of St Lawrence: can you cater?
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 usually elsewhere. Send us the address.
Do you come out to small places like Lurgashall?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
Can we hire the machine and cook it ourselves?
Yes, for confident cooks. Ask and we will talk you through it.
What happens after service?
Our staff clear up after service, and leave the area tidy.
What space does the roaster need?
Enough level ground outdoors for the roaster and a serving table under cover, plus a step-free route to wheel the equipment in. A picture helps.
When do you start roasting?
It depends on the size of the hog and the weather, but it’s several hours. We’ll confirm our arrival time when we quote.
How much will it be?
Each event is priced on its own, depending on numbers, menu, timings and travel. Tell us about your wake for a quote.
What about guests who do not eat pork?
Chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers or a vegan option. We don’t offer halal meat.
