Your questions about a hog roast for the wake in Mile End
Can you cater after a service at Holy Trinity Church?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby with an outdoor spot for the roaster. Food is generally served at the reception venue rather than the church. Send us the address.
Can you do a hog roast in Mile End Park?
Only if the landowner, typically the council, allows it. Check with them first.
What do you need from us on the day?
A clear, level cooking spot, a route to wheel the equipment in and a contact for the day. We’ll bring the rest.
Do we need our own staff?
We carve and serve for you, then clear the serving area afterwards.
What if it rains?
We roast under cover, so the food isn’t affected. Your guests will want somewhere dry to eat.
What if people arrive late?
Give us a contact for the day and we’ll adjust.
How do you work out quantities?
We size the roast to your numbers, so a good estimate matters. The quote sets it out.
Do you provide china?
Plates come as standard. China crockery is available on request and quoted separately.
Looking after everyone
Most people love a hog roast, but it’s pork. Here’s how to cover everyone:
- Request gluten-free rolls
- Halal is not offered, so arrange it separately
- Keep the alternatives labelled
- Plates are easier for older guests than rolls
Food is served as everyone gathers, quietly and respectfully.
Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed.
