Saunderton Lee questions
Can you cater after a service at Church of St John the Evangelist?
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 typically elsewhere. Send us the address.
Do you come out to small places like Saunderton Lee?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
What do people get?
Roast pork carved into soft rolls with sage and onion stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. You can add lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options, salads, coleslaw and potatoes.
Can you roast in the rain?
Rain doesn’t stop the cooking. Somewhere covered for people to eat helps.
Can you work around our timings?
We work back from when you want to eat, and we can hold the roast for a while if the day runs behind.
Where can you serve a wake?
At home, a hall, a club or a venue, as long as there’s an outdoor spot to cook.
Do you leave the area tidy?
We clear the serving area and pack away, leaving the spot as we found it.
