FAQs for Middle Stoke
Do you come out to small places like Middle Stoke?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
How far is Middle Stoke from London?
About 32 miles from central London.
Is mains power needed?
Cooking is gas-fired, so no mains power is needed for the roast. A socket nearby is useful for lighting.
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.
Can we have lamb or chicken?
The hog is the centrepiece, but lamb and chicken can be added.
What about coeliacs?
We can provide gluten-free rolls if you ask. Ask for the allergen list, as stuffing normally contains gluten.
Can you cook inside a hall or marquee?
The roaster always stays outside, under cover, at a safe distance from walls and tents. Serving inside is often possible, with the venue’s agreement.
How does hog roast hire work?
We handle the roasting, carving and serving. All we need is a place to cook outdoors.
DIY versus a catered hog roast
You could go for a cold buffet, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience, especially outdoors.
Catered or DIY? Catered means we do everything: roasting, carving, serving and clearing. With hire only, you do the cooking yourself.
Allergies and dietary needs
You’ll get allergen information for everything we serve. To help:
- Request gluten-free rolls for coeliac guests
- We do not offer halal meat, so arrange that separately if it is needed
- Put the menu on the invitation
- Remember that stuffing typically contains gluten, so ask for the allergen list
We will agree a contact for the day, ideally not the host, so you can enjoy yourself.
We can supply china instead of standard plates, quoted separately.
The menu, dish by dish
Rotisserie chicken
Chicken from the rotisserie gives people a non-pork choice, roasted until golden.
Stuffing and apple sauce
A spoonful of apple sauce and a slice of stuffing turn a pork roll into a hog roast roll, just as they should.
What the cooking area needs
The roaster needs space, cover and a safe distance from anything that could catch the heat. Before booking, check:
- A safe distance from walls, tents and trees
- Any venue rules sorted in advance
- A step-free route to wheel the equipment in
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.
