Questions from Gosford
Can you cater after a service at Saint John the Baptist Hall 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 typically elsewhere. Tell us where you’ll gather.
Is Gosford close to London?
About 55 miles from central London, and well within our area.
When do you start roasting?
It depends on the size of the hog and the weather, but it is several hours. We will confirm our arrival time when we quote.
Can we hire the machine and cook it ourselves?
We do, if you are happy to roast and carve yourself. Ask and we will talk you through it.
Can you do a hog roast in our back garden?
Tell us about the garden and the access, and we’ll give you an honest answer.
Do you leave the area tidy?
We clear the serving area and pack away, leaving the spot as we found it.
Can you do gluten-free?
Gluten-free rolls are available on request. Ask for the allergen list, as stuffing normally contains gluten.
How do we prepare?
Only the space and a contact number. Everything for roasting and serving comes with us.

Working with your venue
Marquee suppliers generally set distances for cooking equipment, so tell them a hog roast is coming. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.
If you’re booking for a workplace, ask your facilities team about outside caterers and gas cooking. We work to the site’s rules.
Before you choose a spot
It is worth planning the cooking area in advance. The ideal spot has:
- A word with the neighbours
- A level patio, lawn or driveway
- Clearance from walls, fences and overhanging branches
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before booking.
