FAQs for Popeswood
We are gathering after a service at Church of St Mark: can you cater?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby with an outdoor spot for the roaster. Food is typically served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you’ll gather.

Will there be enough to go round?

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.
Do you bring a gazebo?

Is mains power needed?
Cooking is gas-fired, so no mains power is needed for the roast. A socket nearby is useful for lighting.

Allergies and dietary needs
Most people love a hog roast, but it is pork. Some ways to look after everyone:
- Collect dietary needs when guests reply
- Give us numbers for vegetarians and vegans
- Let us know roughly how many children
- Request gluten-free rolls
On the day, we arrive hours before the party starts, so it’s cooking when guests arrive.
China crockery is available on request, quoted separately.
Step by step
Your timings come first. If the day runs behind, a cooked roast can be kept hot for a while, so keep us posted on the day. In Popeswood, late May sunsets come at about 8:55pm and midsummer ones at about 9:25pm, so an early-evening carve is normally in daylight. After about 3:55pm in December, we need light to carve.
- It starts with the date, the address and a rough guest list.
- We check the date and the garden or drive, then send a quote.
- We set up early and get the hog roasting.
- Our chef carves and our staff serve when you’re ready.
- We pack away and leave the garden tidy.
Before we arrive
- Check there is nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat
- Give us a contact number for the day
- Measure the narrowest gate or passage

What we serve, dish by dish

DIY versus a catered hog roast
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.
- Roasted slowly at your venue, outdoors and under cover
- Our chef carves the pork, with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling on the side
- Options beyond pork, including lamb, chicken and vegetarian dishes
- Served when you’re ready, and we tidy the serving area afterwards
