Common questions in Rudgwick
Is Rudgwick close to London?
About 32 miles from central London, and well within our area.
Can you cater after a service at Holy Trinity Church?
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 usually elsewhere. Tell us where you will gather.
Do we need cover?
Not for the cooking, but plan somewhere dry for guests.
When should we book?
The earlier the better for popular dates. But do ask even at short notice: send us your details through our quote form.
Do you cover Rudgwick?
We do. Send us the address and we’ll check the date.
Can the hog roast be cooked indoors?
Outside, always. The food can be carried in and served indoors where the venue allows.
Do you leave the area tidy?
We pack everything away after service, and we take our equipment with us.
When do you start roasting?
A whole hog roasts for several hours, which is why we arrive hours ahead. We work back from your serving time.
What else we do in Rudgwick
DIY versus a catered hog roast
Full catering or machine hire? With catering, our chef roasts, carves and serves, and our staff clear up. With hire only, you do the cooking yourself.
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you.
A closer look at the menu
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
Everything goes into a soft roll, easy to eat standing up. Ask for gluten-free rolls if you need them.
Roast pork
The hog roasts slowly for hours, so the meat is tender and juicy, and our chef carves it to order.
