Planning for dietary needs
Most people love a hog roast, but it’s pork. Some ways to look after everyone:
- If anyone needs halal food, plan a separate option
- Count anyone who doesn’t eat pork, and order an alternative for them
- Stuffing normally contains gluten, so check the allergen information
- Tell us about vegetarians and vegans for the halloumi skewers and vegan option
We bring the cover, the carving table and the serving kit, so all you need is the space.
Sides turn a roll into a proper meal, and they’re listed in your quote.
DIY versus a catered hog roast
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.
Walham Green questions
What if our house in Walham Green has no side access?
It depends on access: a rear gate or yard typically works. Tell us about steps, gates and parking and we will advise.
Can you cater after a service at Church of St John?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Food is generally served at the reception venue rather than the church. Send us the address.
Do you leave the area tidy?
Our staff clear up after service, leaving the spot as we found it.
Where does the hog roast go?
Enough level ground outdoors for the roaster and a serving table under cover, plus a step-free route to wheel the equipment in. Send us a photo if you’re unsure.
How far ahead should we book?
Summer Saturdays and December book up first. For other dates, a few weeks can be enough. Ask and we’ll check.
Do you serve the food?
You do not need anyone else: we carve, serve and tidy up.
How long does the roast need?
Several hours, depending on the size and the weather, so we arrive well before you want to eat. We plan the timings from when you want to eat.
Can you roast in the rain?
We cook under a gazebo, so rain isn’t a problem for the roast. Somewhere covered for people to eat helps.

Salads, new potatoes, coleslaw and roast or jacket potatoes turn rolls into a full meal.
Where the roaster can go in Walham Green
The cooking area is the main thing to plan. Check these:

- A level patch of lawn, patio or hardstanding
- A safe distance from walls, tents and trees
