Stalisfield: your questions answered
Do you come out to small places like Stalisfield?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Can you cater after a service at Church of St Mary?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby with an outdoor spot for the roaster. Churches rarely have space for a hog roast, so the food is normally elsewhere. Tell us where you’ll gather.
Is clearing up included?
We tidy the serving area.
What’s included?
The classic: pork in rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. Your quote lists any sides and extras.
Will there be enough to go round?
We size the roast to your numbers, so a good estimate matters. We’ll confirm the menu in the quote.
What happens after service?
Our staff clear up after service, and leave the area tidy.
How long does a hog roast take to cook?
Several hours, depending on the size and the weather, which is why we arrive hours ahead. We work back from your serving time.
How soon do you get booked up?
Summer Saturdays and December book up first. For other dates, a few weeks can be enough. Send your date and we will check.

Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Instead of booking a restaurant, a hog roast at home lets everyone relax in the garden. Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. Slow roasting means we’re on site for much of the day, which is built into the price.
Why book with us
- The classics: stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- No surprises: everything in writing
- Choices for people who do not eat pork
- We bring everything to cook and serve
Read our pricing and what a hog roast costs.
Full catering or machine hire?
A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.
Planning for dietary needs
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. A few tips:
- Ask about allergies on the invitation
- Check the allergen list, as stuffing normally contains gluten
- Give us numbers for vegetarians and vegans
- Let us know roughly how many children
On the day, we arrive hours before the party starts, so the smell is the first thing guests notice.
Gluten-free rolls are available on request.
What we serve, dish by dish
Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
For vegans, there is a vegan burger or sausage in a roll, so everyone has something hot.
Rotisserie chicken
For guests who do not eat pork, rotisserie chicken is the easy answer, and it suits fussy eaters.
