Lillingstone Lovell: your questions answered
Is Lillingstone Lovell too small for a hog roast?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Can you cater after a service at Church of St Mary?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby with an outdoor spot for the roaster. Food is generally served at the reception venue rather than the church. Send us the address.
What about kids?
Generally, yes, so we can plan quantities.
Can we hire the machine and cook it ourselves?
We do, if you are happy to roast and carve yourself. We will explain the details with your quote.
What if it rains?
Rain doesn’t stop the cooking. A marquee, hall or barn for eating makes all the difference.
What should we sort out beforehand?
A clear, level cooking spot, a route to wheel the equipment in and a contact for the day. We bring everything else.
Can you cook inside a hall or marquee?
No, the roast is always cooked outdoors under cover, at a safe distance from walls and tents. Serving inside is frequently possible, with the venue’s agreement.
What happens after service?
Our staff clear up after service, and leave the area tidy.
Before you choose a spot
A good cooking spot makes the day run smoothly. Ideally:
- Access for the roaster through a gate or passage
- Space for our vehicle near the drive
- A gazebo, marquee or room indoors for guests if it rains
Not sure about the cooking spot? Send us a photo and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
