FAQs for Worminghall
We’re gathering after a service at Church of St Peter and St Paul: can you cater?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Food is typically served at the reception venue rather than the church. Send us the address.
Do you come out to small places like Worminghall?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
What happens after service?
Our staff clear the serving area, so you’re not left with the mess.
Can you cater at home?
Homes, halls, clubs and venues, as long as there’s an outdoor spot to cook.
How long does the roast need?
A whole hog roasts for several hours, which is why we arrive hours ahead. We work back from your serving time.
Do we need to provide electricity?
The roaster runs on gas, so we do not need mains power to cook. A socket nearby is useful for lighting.
Can you be flexible on serving time?
Within reason, we can. Keep us posted on the day and we will fit around changes.
Do you do DIY hog roast hire?
DIY machine hire is available. We will explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
