Organising for someone else?
For workplace bookings, ask your facilities team about outside caterers and gas cooking. We will fit in with site rules.
For venues and planners, we can fit around your other suppliers.
Catered or do it yourself?
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, 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 you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.
Questions from Furzeley Corner
We’re gathering after a service at The Mead End: can you cater?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby with an outdoor spot for the roaster. Food is normally served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you will gather.
Do you come out to small places like Furzeley Corner?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
How much room do you need?
Enough level ground outdoors for the roaster and a serving table under cover, plus a step-free route to wheel the equipment in. A picture helps.
What do people get?
Rolls with roast pork, stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. You can add lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options, salads, coleslaw and potatoes.
What happens after service?
We pack everything away after service, and we take our equipment with us.
Is a hog roast good for a children’s party?
Plain pork rolls go down well with children, and chicken or a vegan sausage covers fussy eaters.
What about coeliacs?
Gluten-free rolls are available on request. Stuffing generally contains gluten, so check the allergen information.
Will there be enough to go round?
We size the roast to your numbers, so tell us your best estimate. We’ll confirm the menu in the quote.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
You’ll get allergen information for everything we serve. To make the most of it:
- Let us know roughly how many children
- Give us numbers for vegetarians and vegans
- Count non-pork eaters for the alternatives
- Request gluten-free rolls
Warn the neighbours: roasting takes hours and the smell travels.
Gluten-free rolls are available on request.
