Questions from Salters Heath
We are gathering after a service at Pamber Priory: 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. Send us the address.
Is Salters Heath too small for a hog roast?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
Do you bring plates and clear up?
Plates come as standard and our staff clear the serving area.
Will the smell bother the neighbours?
It’s worth warning them: roasting takes hours. They may want a roll.
Do children like hog roasts?
Plain pork rolls go down well with children, with chicken as an alternative.
What’s included?
Rolls with roast pork, stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. You can add lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options, salads, coleslaw and potatoes.
How do you work out quantities?
The roast is chosen to suit how many you are feeding, so tell us your best estimate. The quote sets it out.
When should we book?
The earlier the better for popular dates. But it’s always worth asking: fill in our quote form.
Party hog roast in Salters Heath, slow-roasted on site
Throwing a party is hard work. A hog roast takes the food off your list: we roast, carve, serve and clear. For engagement parties and retirement parties, we’ll put together a menu of apple sauce, a vegan burger or sausage and coleslaw.
In a small place like Salters Heath, a party in the garden or a nearby field is often the plan. Tell us about lanes and ground, and we will plan the route. Everything we need to roast, carve and serve comes with us, and we leave the spot tidy when we go.
Planning the cooking spot
The roaster needs the right spot, because it cooks outside for several hours, so a few things are worth checking:
- Clearance from walls, fences and overhanging branches
- Somewhere dry for guests to eat
- A side gate or passage wide enough to wheel the equipment
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.
