FAQs for Begbroke
We are gathering after a service at Church of St Philip: 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 generally elsewhere. Tell us where you’ll gather.
Do you come out to small places like Begbroke?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
What’s included?
Rolls with roast pork, stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. You can add lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options, salads, coleslaw and potatoes.
Do you clear up?
We clear the serving area and pack away, and leave the area tidy.
What about the neighbours?
A friendly word helps: roasting takes hours. They may want a roll.
How much does a hog roast cost?
Numbers, menu and travel decide the price. Send us the details and we’ll quote.
Is a hog roast good for a children’s party?
Generally, yes, so we get the amounts right.
How big a hog will we need?
We plan quantities from the numbers you give us, and we will talk it through when we quote.
How it works
We get there well ahead of service, because a whole hog takes hours to roast. The smell generally brings people over long before we carve. Evening parties in Begbroke need a little planning: daylight lasts until about 9:30pm at midsummer, but by late September it is around 7:10pm. A string of lights over the serving table works wonders.

Planning help
Planning for dietary needs
Not everyone eats pork, so plan an alternative. Helpful tips:
- Check the allergen list, as stuffing normally contains gluten
- Plan separately for anyone who needs halal food
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if anyone needs them
- Tell us how many vegetarians and vegans to expect
We set up where we agreed and stay out of the way, so the party carries on around us.
Add chicken for younger or fussier guests.
Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
