FAQs for Underhill
What if our house in Underhill has no side access?
Frequently, if there’s a rear gate, a front garden or a yard we can use. Tell us about steps, gates and parking and we’ll advise.
Can you cater after a service at St John the Baptist 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 usually elsewhere. Tell us where you’ll gather.
What do people get?
Rolls with roast pork, stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. Extras include lamb, chicken, halloumi skewers, a vegan option, salads and potatoes.
Is crockery included?
We bring plates as standard. China crockery is available on request and quoted separately.
Can you cater for vegetarians?
There are lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options: spit-roast lamb, rotisserie chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers or a vegan burger or sausage. Please note we don’t offer halal meat.
What if people arrive late?
Name someone we can call and we will adjust.
Where does the hog roast go?
A flat, open spot outside, plus a step-free route to wheel the equipment in. A photo helps.
Who serves?

What comes off 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.
Rotisserie chicken
Chicken from the rotisserie gives people a non-pork choice, turned until the skin is golden.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
Not everyone eats pork, so it’s worth adding an alternative. Helpful tips:
- Older guests may prefer food on plates
- Keep the alternatives labelled
- Halal isn’t offered, so arrange it separately
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed
We clear away discreetly once everyone has eaten.
Let us know if there is something the person especially liked.
For event organisers in Underhill
If you are a venue or event planner, we are happy to work alongside your team.
For workplace bookings, check with facilities about gas equipment and vehicle access. We’ll fit in with site rules.
Before you choose a spot
A hog roast cooks outdoors for hours, so the spot matters, so a few things are worth checking:
- Clearance from walls and branches
- A level spot outdoors for the roaster
- Somewhere indoors for people to eat
Underhill is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and access can be tight: let us know how we reach the cooking spot and where we can park.
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before booking.
