For event organisers in Wouldham
For workplace bookings, ask your facilities team about outside caterers and gas cooking. We’ll fit in with site rules.
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so check before booking. We will liaise with them on access and set-up.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
Some guests will not eat pork, so it’s worth adding an alternative. Helpful tips:
- If anyone needs halal food, plan a separate option
- Stuffing normally contains gluten, so ask for the allergen list
- Collect allergies with your RSVPs
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if anyone needs them
We’ll agree a contact for the day, ideally not the host, so you can enjoy yourself.

Questions from Wouldham
Can you cater after a service at Church of All Saints?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby with an outdoor spot for the roaster. Food is typically served at the reception venue rather than the church. Send us the address.
Can you do a hog roast in Holborough Marshes?
Only if the landowner, usually the council, allows it. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
Is hog roast hire catered or DIY?
Either: fully catered, where we roast, carve and serve, or DIY machine hire. Most people choose catering.
Do you bring plates?
Plates come as standard. If you’d like china, ask and we will add it to the quote.
Is our garden big enough?
It depends on the space and access more than size. Tell us about the garden and we’ll advise.
What comes with the hog roast?
Pork, stuffing, apple sauce and crackling in a soft roll. Your quote lists any sides and extras.
Will there be enough to go round?
We plan quantities from the numbers you give us, and we will talk it through when we quote.
What should we sort out beforehand?
A clear, level cooking spot, a route to wheel the equipment in and a contact for the day. We bring everything else.
Full catering or machine hire?
You could go for a cold buffet, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience, especially outdoors.
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.
What the cooking area needs
Most outdoor spaces can work with a little planning. Here’s what we look for:

- Space away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before booking.
