DIY versus a catered hog roast
If you’re confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You cook and carve it yourself; we’ll confirm what comes with it when you ask.
Full catering or machine hire? Catered means we do everything: roasting, carving, serving and clearing. With hire only, you do the cooking yourself.
Planning for dietary needs
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. Here are a few tips:
- Keep the vegetarian option labelled
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten
- Ask about allergies on the invitation
- Halal is not offered, so arrange it separately if needed
Ensure the gate or side passage is open when we arrive, so we can bring everything through.
Sides turn rolls into a proper party meal.
Custom House questions
Can you cater after a service at St Matthew's Church?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby with an outdoor spot for the roaster. Churches rarely have space for a hog roast, so the food is generally elsewhere. Tell us where you’ll gather.
What’s the nearest station to Custom House?
Custom House has its own station: Custom House station.
What about kids?
Yes, and tell us how many children are coming, so we can plan quantities.
What if it rains?
Rain does not stop the cooking. Somewhere covered for people to eat helps.

How far ahead should we book?
The earlier the better for popular dates. But do ask even at short notice: use our quote form.

Often, yes, if there is a level spot away from the house and trees, and a way to wheel the equipment through. A picture helps.
