Your questions about a hog roast for your party in Stone in Oxney
We’re gathering after a service at Parish Church of St Mary the Virgin: 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.
What about windy coastal sites?
Yes, of course. Wind is something we plan for: a sheltered spot and secure cover.
Do you do DIY hire for parties?
You can hire the machine. We’ll explain what’s supplied and how it works.
What if it rains?
We roast under cover, so the food is not affected. Plan somewhere sheltered for eating.
What about coeliacs?
We can supply gluten-free rolls on request. We will give you full allergen information for every dish.
What about guests who don’t eat pork?
Add lamb, chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers or a vegan option. Please note we do not offer halal meat.
Do children like hog roasts?
Plain pork rolls go down well with children, and chicken or a vegan sausage covers fussy eaters.
Do we need to provide electricity?
The roaster runs on gas, so we do not need mains power to cook. Power can help with lighting after dark.
