Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience.

Common questions in Bridge
Can you cater after a service at Church of St Peter?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Food is typically served at the reception venue rather than the church. Send us the address.
Is Bridge close to London?
Roughly 55 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
Should we warn the neighbours?
It is worth warning them: the roast cooks for hours and the smell travels. Some hosts invite them over for a roll.
Do you provide china?
We bring plates as standard. China crockery is available on request and quoted separately.
How big a hog will we need?
The roast is chosen to suit how many you are feeding, so a good estimate matters. We’ll confirm the menu in the quote.
When do you start roasting?
It depends on the size of the hog and the weather, but it is several hours. We will confirm our arrival time when we quote.
Can you do gluten-free?
Ask for gluten-free rolls and we’ll bring them. We’ll give you full allergen information for every dish.
Can you cater for vegetarians?
There are lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options: spit-roast lamb, rotisserie chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers or a vegan burger or sausage. We don’t offer halal meat.
