Questions from Upper Wield
Can you cater after a service at Church of St James?
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 generally elsewhere. Send us the address.
Do you come out to small places like Upper Wield?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Can you do gluten-free?
Ask for gluten-free rolls and we’ll bring them. You will get allergen details for everything.
Is a hog roast good for a children’s party?
Generally, yes, so we can plan quantities.
Do you come to Upper Wield?
Yes, Upper Wield is in our area. Tell us the venue or postcode and we will check the date.
What about guests who do not eat pork?
Add lamb, chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers or a vegan option. Please note we do not offer halal meat.
Do we need to provide electricity?
Cooking is gas-fired, so no mains power is needed for the roast. Power can help with lighting after dark.
How soon do you get booked up?
As early as you can for summer weekends and December. For other dates, a few weeks can be enough. Send your date and we’ll check.
About the food
Rotisserie chicken
Golden rotisserie chicken can be served in a roll or on a plate alongside the pork.
Stuffing and apple sauce
Stuffing and a dollop of apple sauce turn a pork roll into a hog roast roll.
Allergies and dietary needs
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. A few tips:
- Let us know roughly how many children
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten
- Request gluten-free rolls
- Keep the vegetarian option labelled
If the party runs late, the roast can wait a little, so just let us know.
Rotisserie chicken is popular at family parties.
For event organisers in Upper Wield
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so it is worth asking first. We’ll liaise with them on access and set-up.
If the event is on someone else’s land, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
What the cooking area needs
The roaster needs the right spot, because it cooks outside for several hours, so a few things are worth checking:
- Parking close to the house
- A wet-weather plan for guests
- Access for the roaster through a gate or passage
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before booking.
