Planning for dietary needs
Most people love a hog roast, but it’s pork. Here’s how to cover everyone:

We dress smartly and keep a low profile throughout.

Questions from Tuesley
Can you cater after a service at St John the Evangelist's Church?
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 normally elsewhere. Send us the address.
What’s the nearest station to Tuesley?
The closest is Milford (Surrey) station, roughly 0.6 miles away.
Do you cater in village halls?
Homes, halls, clubs and venues, as long as there is an outdoor spot to cook.
What about coeliacs?
We can supply gluten-free rolls on request. You’ll get allergen details for everything.
Can you cater for vegetarians?
Add lamb, chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers or a vegan option. Please note we don’t offer halal meat.
Do you leave the area tidy?
Our staff clear up after service, leaving the spot as we found it.
Do you need anything from the family?
Only the place, numbers and a contact. We bring everything else.
Can the hog roast be cooked indoors?
The roaster always stays outside, under cover, away from buildings and marquee walls. We can frequently serve indoors if the venue agrees.
Organising for someone else?
Venues frequently have rules for outside caterers, from approved lists to where a gas roaster can go. Ask early, and pass on anything they need from us.
Some venues add a fee for outside caterers, so it is worth asking first. We will work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.
