Common questions in West Brompton
Could you cook in Gwendwr Garden?
Only if the landowner, usually the council, allows it. Ask them first.
We are gathering after a service at Church of St Luke: can you cater?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby with an outdoor spot for the roaster. Churches rarely have space for a hog roast, so the food is typically elsewhere. Send us the address.
What if it rains?
We roast under cover, so the food isn’t affected. Your guests will want somewhere dry to eat.
What about coeliacs?
We can provide gluten-free rolls if you ask. Stuffing typically contains gluten, so check the allergen information.
Can we hire the machine and cook it ourselves?
DIY machine hire is available. We’ll explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
How long does the roast need?
Several hours, depending on the size and the weather, so we arrive well before you want to eat. We plan the timings from when you want to eat.
How do you work out quantities?
We plan quantities from the numbers you give us, and we’ll talk it through when we quote.
Do you leave the area tidy?
Our staff clear up after service, and leave the area tidy.
