Common questions in Stuckton
Do you cater at venues in the New Forest National Park?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about cooking and vehicles, so check with yours. We will follow the site rules.
We’re gathering after a service at Church of the Holy Ascension: can you cater?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby with an outdoor spot for the roaster. Food is generally served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you’ll gather.
Does the roaster have to be outside?
The roaster always stays outside, under cover, at a safe distance from walls and tents. We can frequently serve indoors if the venue agrees.
Will there be enough to go round?
We size the roast to your numbers, so tell us your best estimate. We will confirm the menu in the quote.
Can you do something else?
There are chicken, vegetarian and vegan alternatives. Halal is not available.
What if things run late?
We work back from when you want to eat, and a cooked roast can be held for a while if things run late.
Can you cater at home?
Wherever the family gathers, if the roaster can cook outside.
Is there a non-pork option?
We can add lamb or chicken, plus halloumi skewers for vegetarians and a vegan burger or sausage. Halal meat is not something we offer.
How the day works
When we arrive, we set up the roaster on the agreed spot, put the cover up and start the roast. It then roasts slowly for several hours, worked back from your serving time. In winter, it is dark in Stuckton by about 4:05pm, so an afternoon wake in winter needs lighting by the food. Summer wakes have daylight well into the evening.
- It starts with the date, venue and when people are expected.
- We confirm availability and send a price.
- The roast cooks while the service is under way.
- We serve when everyone arrives, calmly and without fuss.
- Afterwards we pack up quietly.
How to prepare
- Send final numbers in good time
- Gather dietary requirements early
- Check there’s nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat
