Should I cook it myself?
Full catering or machine hire? Catered means we do everything: roasting, carving, serving and clearing. With DIY hire, you do the work and save on staffing.
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is usually easier.
Slaugham: your questions answered
Can you cater after a service at St Mary's Church?
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. Tell us where you’ll gather.
How far is Slaugham from London?
About 32 miles from central London.
Is there a non-pork option?
Add lamb, chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers or a vegan option. Please note we do not offer halal meat.
Can the hog roast be cooked indoors?
It cooks outside, under a gazebo, on a level spot. The food can be carried in and served indoors where the venue allows.
Can you work around our timings?
Because the roast takes hours, we plan from your serving time, and a cooked roast can be held for a while if things run late.
Is mains power needed?
Not to cook, because the roaster is gas-fired. Let us know what’s on site.
What meats can we have?
The hog is the centrepiece, with lamb and chicken as extras.
Do we need our own staff?
Our chef carves and our staff serve, and we clear up when service is finished.

Allergies and dietary needs
A hog roast is pork, so plan for anyone who does not eat it. Some ways to look after everyone:
- Remember that stuffing usually contains gluten, so check the allergen information
- Count anyone who doesn’t eat pork, and order an alternative for them
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if anyone needs them
- Add a dietary question to your invitations
We bring the cover, the carving table and the serving kit, so all you need is the space.
Ask for gluten-free rolls for anyone who needs them.
The menu, dish by dish
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Some guests will be vegetarian, and halloumi skewers give them a proper hot option.
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.
