Common questions in Peartree Green
We’re gathering after a service at Peartree Green United Reform Church: can you cater?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby with an outdoor spot for the roaster. Food is normally served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you’ll gather.
Could you cook in Houndwell Park?
Only if the landowner, usually the council, allows it. Check with them first.
What happens in bad weather?
Rain does not stop the cooking. Somewhere covered for people to eat helps.
What about guests who don’t eat pork?
Add lamb, chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers or a vegan option. Please note we do not offer halal meat.
Can we just hire the roaster?
DIY machine hire is available. We will explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
Is crockery included?
Plates come as standard. China crockery is available on request and quoted separately.
Can the hog roast be cooked indoors?
It cooks outside, under a gazebo, on a level spot. Serving indoors is generally fine if the venue is happy.
What’s the price?
Every booking is quoted individually, depending on numbers, menu, timings and travel. Tell us about your wake for a quote.
Working with your venue
Venues often have rules for outside caterers, from approved lists to where a gas roaster can go. Ask early, and tell us what they ask for.
Some venues add a fee for outside caterers, so it is worth asking first. We will liaise with them on access and set-up.
Why choose a hog roast in Peartree Green?
Compared with a venue’s set menu, a hog roast at a hall is frequently simpler. When comparing prices, compare the same things: menu, sides, serving time, staff, plates and travel. A cheaper headline price can leave things out.
