Your questions about a hog roast for your party in Padworth Common
We’re gathering after a service at Church of St John the Baptist: can you cater?
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 generally elsewhere. Send us the address.
Could you cook in Padworth Common Local Nature Reserve?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, normally the council, and many parks don’t allow cooking. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
Will a hog roast fit in our garden?
Frequently, yes, if there’s a level spot away from the house and trees, and a way to wheel the equipment through. A picture helps.
How long does the roast need?
A whole hog roasts for several hours, which is why we arrive hours ahead. We work back from your serving time.
Where does the hog roast go?
Roughly the footprint of a gazebo or two, on level ground, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging trees. We’ll check it with you before booking.
What’s the price?
Every booking is quoted individually, depending on numbers, menu, timings and travel. Ask us for a quote.
Is mains power needed?
Cooking is gas-fired, so no mains power is needed for the roast. Power can help with lighting after dark.
Do you provide china?
We bring plates as standard. If you’d like china, ask and we’ll add it to the quote.
