Common questions in Sharnal Street
Can you cater after a service at Church of St Margaret?
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.
How far is Sharnal Street from London?
About 29 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
Can you do gluten-free?
We can provide gluten-free rolls if you ask. Ask for the allergen list, as stuffing normally contains gluten.
How do we prepare?
Only the space and a contact number. Everything for roasting and serving comes with us.
Can you do a hog roast in our back garden?
Most gardens can work, and a way to wheel the equipment through. A photo helps.
Does the roaster have to be outside?
The roaster always stays outside, under cover, at a safe distance from walls and tents. We can often serve indoors if the venue agrees.
Do we need to wash up?
We bring plates and clear up after service.
Can we just hire the roaster?
Yes, we hire out the hog roast machine. We’ll confirm what comes with it and how to use it.

- Keep the vegetarian option labelled
- Collect dietary needs when guests reply
- Count non-pork eaters so we can bring chicken or a vegetarian option
- Check the allergen list, as stuffing generally contains gluten
We get there early to start the roast, so the smell is the first thing guests notice.

Should I cook it myself?
We also hire out the hog roast machine for confident cooks. You cook and carve it yourself; we will confirm what comes with it when you ask.
Catered or DIY? With catering, our chef roasts, carves and serves, and our staff clear up. With DIY hire, you do the work and save on staffing.
