Organising for someone else?
Some venues add a fee for outside caterers, so it’s worth asking first. We’ll liaise with them on access and set-up.
Event organisers frequently ask caterers for paperwork such as a risk assessment. Let us know what your event requires and we’ll tell you what we can send.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
Allergies and dietary needs are easy to manage if we know in advance. Some ideas:
- Stuffing normally contains gluten, so ask for the allergen list
- Ask about allergies when you send invitations
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if anyone needs them
- Count anyone who doesn’t eat pork, and order an alternative for them
The roaster needs looking after for hours, and that is what we’re there for. You can relax and enjoy the day.

Questions from Virginia Water
Can you cater after a service at Christ Church?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Food is usually served at the reception venue rather than the church. Send us the address.
How far is Virginia Water from London?
About 21 miles from central London.
Do you do DIY hog roast hire?
Yes, we hire out the hog roast machine. We’ll explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
Can we have lamb or chicken?
Pork is the classic, and you can add spit-roast lamb or rotisserie chicken. Vegetarian and vegan options are available too.
What happens after service?
We pack everything away after service, so you are not left with the mess.
What if it rains?
The roaster is under cover, so a shower does not stop us. Your guests will want somewhere dry to eat.
Will people get crackling?
It is: slow roasting crisps the skin and we break it up for everyone.
Do you offer gluten-free rolls?
We can provide gluten-free rolls if you ask. Ask for the allergen list, as stuffing normally contains gluten.
