Your questions about a hog roast in Bishop's Sutton
We are gathering after a service at Church of St Nicholas: can you cater?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Food is normally served at the reception venue rather than the church. Send us the address.
Do you come out to small places like Bishop's Sutton?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Do you bring plates?
We bring plates as standard. China crockery is available on request and quoted separately.
Will there be enough to go round?
We size the roast to your numbers, so tell us your best estimate. The quote sets it out.
Is mains power needed?
Cooking is gas-fired, so no mains power is needed for the roast. A socket nearby is useful for lighting.
How far ahead should we book?
As early as you can for summer weekends and December. For other dates, a few weeks can be enough. Ask and we will check.
When do you start roasting?
Several hours, depending on the size and the weather, which is why we arrive hours ahead. We work back from your serving time.
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.

Venues frequently have rules for outside caterers, including where gas cooking is allowed. Ask early, and pass on anything they need from us.
Should I cook it myself?
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
You could go for a cold buffet, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you.
