Common questions in Tutts Clump
We’re gathering after a service at St Peter's Church: can you cater?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby with an outdoor spot for the roaster. Food is normally served at the reception venue rather than the church. Send us the address.
Is Tutts Clump too small for a hog roast?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
What should we sort out beforehand?
Just the agreed spot and a contact on the day. We bring the roaster, cover and serving kit.
How do you work out quantities?
Quantities are based on your numbers, and we will confirm everything in writing.
What if it rains?
Rain doesn’t stop the cooking. A marquee, hall or barn for eating makes all the difference.
What if people arrive late?
That’s fine: a cooked roast can be held for a while.
Can you cook inside a hall or marquee?
Outside, always. Serving indoors is generally fine if the venue is happy.
Can you do something else?
Chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers or a vegan option. Halal is not available.
A hog roast or other catering?
Compared with a venue’s set menu, a hog roast at home or a hall can be simpler and better value. Numbers make the biggest difference: bigger groups usually cost less per head, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.
Why us?
- Timed around your day
- Staff to serve, so you don’t have to
- Choices for people who don’t eat pork

Planners, venues and businesses
For venues and planners, we can fit around your other suppliers.
For events on land you do not own, such as a park or field, you’ll need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
Some guests will not eat pork, so plan an alternative. A few pointers:
- Find out who would prefer chicken or a vegetarian option
- Plan separately if anyone needs halal food
- Give us numbers for the alternatives
- Check with family about dietary needs
We set up quietly and start the roast early, well away from the entrance.
Plates and sides make it a full meal.
What happens on the day
Service is quick once we start carving: our chef carves and our staff fill the rolls or plates, and sides go out at the same time. Afterwards we clear the serving area and pack away. Late-December sunset in Tutts Clump is about 4:00pm, so for an afternoon wake, light near the serving area and the door helps. In summer, there is daylight until about 9:25pm.
- Share the date, place and numbers.

- The roast cooks while you are at the service.
- Food is ready as guests gather.
- We clear away discreetly.

What comes off the roaster
Roast pork
Everything starts with the slow-roasted pork: carved thick or thin, as people like it, straight from the roaster.
Stuffing and apple sauce
A spoonful of apple sauce and a slice of stuffing turn a pork roll into a hog roast roll, just as they should.
What a hog roast costs
Each price is built from:
- The serving time and how long we are on site
- The journey to the venue
- How easy it is to reach the spot
- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
Extras such as lamb, chicken, more sides or china crockery add to the cost, so we list each one in the quote. A simple menu keeps the cost down.
