West Lavington questions
We’re gathering after a service at The Parish Church of St Mary Magdalene: 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 usually elsewhere. Send us the address.
Do you come out to small places like West Lavington?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
What comes with the hog roast?
Pork, stuffing, apple sauce and crackling in a soft roll. Sides and extra meats are listed in your quote.
Do we need to provide electricity?
Cooking is gas-fired, so no mains power is needed for the roast. Power can help with lighting after dark.
Is there an alternative to pork?
Chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers or a vegan option. We don’t offer halal meat.
Do you leave the area tidy?
Our staff clear the serving area, so you are not left with the mess.
How much will it be?
Numbers, menu and travel decide the price. Send us the details and we’ll quote.
What about coeliacs?
Ask for gluten-free rolls and we’ll bring them. We’ll give you full allergen information for every dish.
Planners, venues and businesses
Event organisers often ask caterers for paperwork such as a risk assessment. Let us know what your event requires and we will confirm what we can provide.
