Common questions in St George in the East
We’re gathering after a service at St Peter's: 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.

Only the space and a contact number. We bring the roaster, cover and serving kit.
Can you cater a wake at short notice?
Often, yes. Contact us as soon as you have a date and we’ll tell you quickly.
What do people get?
The classic: pork in rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. Your quote lists any sides and extras.
How much room do you need?
Enough level ground outdoors for the roaster and a serving table under cover, and a way to wheel everything in. A photo helps.
Do you do DIY hog roast hire?
Yes, for confident cooks. Ask and we’ll talk you through it.
How much does a hog roast cost?
Every booking is quoted individually, depending on numbers, menu, timings and travel. Ask us for a quote.

Planning help
For planners, venues and organisers
For events on land you don’t own, such as a park or field, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
Marquee suppliers typically set distances for cooking equipment, so let them know about the roaster. We’ll keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.
