FAQs for Radnage
We’re gathering after a service at Church of St Mary: can you cater?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Food is typically served at the reception venue rather than the church. Send us the address.
Do you come out to small places like Radnage?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Can the hog roast be cooked indoors?
It cooks outside, under a gazebo, on a level spot. The food can be carried in and served indoors where the venue allows.
What happens in bad weather?
We cook under a gazebo, so rain is not a problem for the roast. Somewhere covered for people to eat helps.
Can you do gluten-free?
We can supply gluten-free rolls on request. We will give you full allergen information for every dish.
Do we need to provide electricity?
Cooking is gas-fired, so no mains power is needed for the roast. A socket nearby is useful for lighting.
How do you work out quantities?
Quantities are based on your numbers, and we will confirm everything in writing.
Do you come to Radnage?
Yes, Radnage is in our area. Send us the address and we will confirm availability.

Most people love a hog roast, but it is pork. Some ways to look after everyone:
- Older guests may prefer food on plates
- Plan separately if anyone needs halal food
- Request gluten-free rolls
- Check with family about dietary needs
We clear away discreetly once everyone has eaten.
China crockery is available on request, quoted separately.

Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Compared with sandwich platters, a hog roast is a warm meal, especially in colder months. For larger numbers, a hog roast is generally good value, because one whole roast feeds plenty of people. The menu, extras such as china and the serving time all affect the final price.

How the day works
A hog roast is always cooked outside, on a level, open spot under cover, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches. We’ll agree the spot with you beforehand. In late September, sunset in Radnage is about 7:05pm; in December, about 3:55pm, so a later wake may need lighting outside.
