Common questions in Ardley
We are gathering after a service at Church of St Mary: can you cater?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Churches rarely have space for a hog roast, so the food is usually elsewhere. Tell us where you will gather.
Is Ardley too small for a hog roast?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Do you bring plates and clear up?
We tidy the serving area.
Can you do gluten-free?
Gluten-free rolls are available on request. Stuffing usually contains gluten, so check the allergen information.
Do you bring a gazebo?
Not for the cooking, but a gazebo or indoor space for guests is a good backup.
Do you leave the area tidy?
Our staff clear up after service, and leave the area tidy.
Should we warn the neighbours?
It is worth warning them: the roast cooks for hours and the smell travels. They may want a roll.
Do you serve the food?
You do not need anyone else: we carve, serve and tidy up.
Should I cook it myself?
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from early set-up to carving at the end. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.

Diets, allergies and alternatives
Some guests won’t eat pork, so it is worth adding an alternative. Helpful tips:
- Keep the vegetarian option labelled
- Think about children’s portions
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten
- Count non-pork eaters for the alternatives
Warn the neighbours: the roast cooks for hours, and they may ask for a roll.
Sides turn rolls into a proper party meal.
