Common questions in Mill Meads
We’re gathering after a service at St Mary's Church: 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 typically elsewhere. Send us the address.
Could you cook in Bob's Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, generally the council, and many parks do not allow cooking. Ask them first.
What if the service runs late?
Name someone we can call and we’ll adjust.
How do we prepare?
Just the agreed spot and a contact on the day. We bring the roaster, cover and serving kit.
How big a hog will we need?
The roast is chosen to suit how many you are feeding, so tell us your best estimate. We’ll confirm the menu in the quote.
Do you need anything from the family?
Not much: the space and a contact.
Do you cover Mill Meads?
Yes, Mill Meads is in our area. Send us the address and we’ll check the date.
Do we need to provide electricity?
Not to cook, because the roaster is gas-fired. Tell us what’s available and we’ll plan around it.
