Common questions in Grubb Street
Can you cater after a service at Church of Saint Mary Magdalene?
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.
How far is Grubb Street from London?
About 17 miles from central London, and well within our area.
What comes with the hog roast?
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 bring a gazebo?
The roaster has its own cover; plan shelter for guests in bad weather.
What if it rains?
Rain doesn’t stop the cooking. A marquee, hall or barn for eating makes all the difference.
What space does the roaster need?
A flat, open spot outside, and a way to wheel everything in. Send us a photo if you are unsure.
Do you leave the area tidy?
We clear the serving area and pack away, and leave the area tidy.
Do children like hog roasts?
Generally, yes, so we get the amounts right.

Make sure the gate or side passage is open when we arrive, so we can wheel the equipment in.
