Looking after everyone
Allergies and dietary needs are easy to manage if we know in advance. Some ideas:
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if anyone needs them
- Tell us how many vegetarians and vegans to expect
- Halal is not offered, so arrange it separately if needed
We set up in the agreed spot, leaving the garden to you and your guests.
A string of lights by the carving station looks great as it gets dark.

Your questions about a hog roast for your party in Furnace Green
Can you cater after a service at St Andrew'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. Send us the address.
Is Furnace Green close to London?
About 28 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
Will the smell bother the neighbours?
It’s worth warning them: the roast cooks for hours and the smell travels. Some hosts invite them over for a roll.
Does the roaster have to be outside?
The roaster always stays outside, under cover, away from buildings and marquee walls. We can often serve indoors if the venue agrees.
Can we hire the machine and cook it ourselves?
Yes, we hire out the hog roast machine. We’ll confirm what comes with it and how to use it.
Can you work around our timings?
We work back from when you want to eat, and we can hold the roast for a while if the day runs behind.
Do you leave the area tidy?
We clear the serving area and pack away, and leave the area tidy.
Do we need cover?
Not for the cooking, but a gazebo or indoor space for guests is a good backup.
Prices and what affects them
The price comes down to:
- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
- The journey to the venue
- Plates or china
- The date and time of year
What you pay covers the meat, the chef and staff, and hours of roasting. A long, slow roast means an early start, which is built into the price.

Should I cook it myself?
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.
