Munstead Heath: your questions answered
Can you cater after a service at St John the Baptist Church?
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 generally elsewhere. Tell us where you will gather.
Can you do a hog roast in Phillips Memorial Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, normally the council, and many parks do not allow cooking. Check with them first.
How long does a hog roast take to cook?
A whole hog roasts for several hours, which is why we arrive hours ahead. We work back from your serving time.

It depends on numbers, the menu and how long we are on site. Tell us your date and we will send a price.

Only the place, numbers and a contact. We’ll handle the rest.
