Common questions in The Hummicks
Can you cater after a service at Church of the Blessed Virgin and Child?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Food is typically served at the reception venue rather than the church. Send us the address.
Is The Hummicks too small for a hog roast?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
Do you clear up?
We clear the serving area and pack away, and leave the area tidy.
Do we need to provide electricity?
Not to cook, because the roaster is gas-fired. Let us know what’s on site.
Do we need our own staff?
Our chef carves and our staff serve, then clear the serving area afterwards.
What about coeliacs?
Ask for gluten-free rolls and we’ll bring them. You will get allergen details for everything.
What comes with the hog roast?
The classic: pork in rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. Sides and extra meats are listed in your quote.
Do children like hog roasts?
Yes, and tell us how many children are coming, so we can plan quantities.

For planners, venues and organisers
Many venues set rules for outside caterers, including where gas cooking is allowed. Check early, and tell us what they ask for.
Planning on behalf of a committee? One clear contact makes everything easier, particularly when timings shift.
Full catering or machine hire?
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.
Catered or DIY? Catered means we do everything: roasting, carving, serving and clearing. With hire only, you do the cooking yourself.

How the day works
Carving is part of the show: our chef carves the pork in front of the queue, and the crackling is shared out so everyone gets some. For an evening party in The Hummicks, think about light: daylight lasts until about 9:25pm at midsummer, but by late September it is around 7:10pm. A string of lights over the serving table works wonders.

Is a hog roast right for your party?

- Ask for gluten-free rolls if anyone needs them
- Halal is not offered, so arrange it separately if needed
- Find out who does not eat pork for the alternatives
- Check the allergen list, as stuffing normally contains gluten
