Questions from Westbourne
What if our house in Westbourne has no side access?
It depends on access: a rear gate or yard normally works. Tell us about steps, gates and parking and we will advise.
Can you cater after a service at St Stephen's Church?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Food is generally served at the reception venue rather than the church. Send us the address.

It depends on the size of the hog and the weather, but it is several hours. We’ll confirm our arrival time when we quote.
What happens after service?
Our staff clear up after service, and leave the area tidy.
Do you offer gluten-free rolls?
We can supply gluten-free rolls on request. We will give you full allergen information for every dish.

- Lamb, chicken and vegetarian options alongside
- Carved by our chef in front of your guests
- We bring everything to cook and serve
Take a look at our pricing or our hog roast cost guide.
Prices and what affects them
We work out each quote from:
- Time on site
- The number of people
- Site access
- Whether you want china
Numbers make the biggest difference: bigger groups typically cost less per head, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.
