Common questions in Filchampstead
Do you come out to small places like Filchampstead?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Can you cater after a service at St Mary's Church?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby with an outdoor spot for the roaster. Food is typically served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you’ll gather.
What do you need from us on the day?
The agreed cooking area, access for our equipment and someone to meet us. We’ll bring the rest.
How do you work out quantities?
Quantities are based on your numbers, and we’ll talk it through when we quote.
Does the roaster have to be outside?
Outside, always. Serving indoors is generally fine if the venue is happy.
Is mains power needed?
Not to cook, because the roaster is gas-fired. Let us know what’s on site.
Is there a non-pork option?
The menu has lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options. We do not provide halal meat.
When do you start roasting?
Several hours, depending on the size and the weather, so we arrive well before you want to eat. We work back from your serving time.

DIY versus a catered hog roast
You could roast a hog yourself, but it is a long day’s work, from early set-up to carving at the end. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.

Cost depends on numbers, menu choices and service time, plus travel and access. There is no one-size price, so we quote each one individually.

How it works
Rain doesn’t stop the roast, because we cook under cover. It’s worth planning a sheltered place for people to eat, too. For an evening party in Filchampstead, think about light: daylight lasts until about 9:25pm at midsummer, but by late September it is around 7:10pm. Lights by the food keep the party going.
