Fish Island: your questions answered
We’re gathering after a service at St Mary of Eton: 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. Tell us where you’ll gather.
Can you do a hog roast in Grove Hall Park?
Only if the landowner, normally the council, allows it. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
Can you work around our timings?
We work back from when you want to eat, and we can hold the roast for a while if the day runs behind.
How long does a hog roast take to cook?
It depends on the size of the hog and the weather, but it’s several hours. You’ll know our arrival time in advance.
What’s the price?
Every booking is quoted individually, depending on numbers, menu, timings and travel. Ask us for a quote.
Do you bring plates?
We supply plates as standard. You can upgrade to china if you prefer.
What happens when we hire a hog roast?
We handle the roasting, carving and serving. All we need is a place to cook outdoors.
What about coeliacs?
We can supply gluten-free rolls on request. We’ll give you full allergen information for every dish.
Allergies and dietary needs
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. Here are a few tips:
- Request gluten-free rolls for coeliac guests

- Tell guests what’s on the menu in advance
We bring the cover, the carving table and the serving kit, so all you need is the space.
Salads, coleslaw and potatoes make it a full meal, and they’re listed in your quote.
