FAQs for Birchgrove
We’re gathering after a service at Chelwood Gate Church: 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. Send us the address.
Do you cater at venues in the High Weald National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about cooking and vehicles, so check with yours. We will follow the site rules.
How much will it be?
It depends on numbers, the menu and how long we’re on site. Send us the details and we will quote.
Will there be enough to go round?
We plan quantities from the numbers you give us, and we will confirm everything in writing.
What happens after service?
We clear the serving area and pack away, leaving the spot as we found it.
When should we book?
The earlier the better for popular dates. But do ask even at short notice: use our quote form.
Can we hire the machine and cook it ourselves?
DIY machine hire is available. We’ll confirm what comes with it and how to use it.
What about guests who do not eat pork?
The menu has lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options. We don’t provide halal meat.
Step by step
A hog roast is always cooked outside, under a gazebo on level ground, well clear of walls, tents and trees. We agree exactly where before the day. At midsummer, it’s light in Birchgrove until about 9:20pm, so a garden party can run well into the evening. By late September sunset is around 7:05pm, so plan festoon lights for later parties.
- Tell us about your party: date, address and numbers.
- We check the garden or drive and quote.
- We set up hours ahead.
- We carve and serve at food time.
- We clear the serving area and go.
How to prepare
- Plan somewhere sheltered for people to eat if it rains
- Give us a contact number for the day
