Full catering or machine hire?
If you’re confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You do the roasting and carving; we’ll confirm what comes with it when you ask.
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.

FAQs for Doleham
We are gathering after a service at The Parish Church of St George: 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 typically elsewhere. Send us the address.
What about windy coastal sites?
Yes, of course. We roast under cover and choose a sheltered spot where we can.
Will a hog roast fit in our garden?
Frequently, yes, if there is a level spot away from the house and trees, and a way to wheel the equipment through. Send us a photo.
What’s included?
Roast pork carved into soft rolls with sage and onion stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. You can add lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options, salads, coleslaw and potatoes.
Do you need power or water?
The roaster runs on gas, so we don’t need mains power to cook. Power can help with lighting after dark.
Do we need cover?
We bring cover for the roaster; plan shelter for guests in bad weather.
What if things run late?
Within reason, we can. Give us a contact on the day and we’ll adjust.
Do you clear up?
Our staff clear the serving area, and we take our equipment with us.

Planning for dietary needs
Allergies and dietary needs are easy to manage if we know in advance. Tips:
- Keep the vegetarian option labelled
- Tell us how many vegetarians and vegans to expect
- Let us know roughly how many children
- Check the allergen list, as stuffing normally contains gluten
If the party runs late, the roast can wait a little, so tell us if timings change.
A string of lights by the carving station looks great as it gets dark.
