Questions from Hatchet Green
We are gathering after a service at Church of St Mary: can you cater?

No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Will there be enough to go round?
We plan quantities from the numbers you give us, and we’ll confirm everything in writing.
Do you clear up?
We clear the serving area and pack away, leaving the spot as we found it.
Will a hog roast fit in our garden?
Tell us about the garden and the access, and we’ll tell you if it works.
Do you provide china?
Plates are included. China is available at an extra cost.

Planning for dietary needs
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. Here are a few tips:
- Ask us to label vegetarian and vegan food
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten
- Plan separately for anyone who needs halal food
- Collect dietary needs when guests reply
Have a word with the neighbours first: the roast cooks for hours.
Sides turn rolls into a proper party meal.
DIY versus a catered hog roast
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.
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.
