Common questions in Wash Common
Can you cater after a service at St Luke Church?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Churches rarely have space for a hog roast, so the food is generally elsewhere. Send us the address.

Roughly 55 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
Is clearing up included?
Yes, we clear up after service, so there is very little washing up.
How do we prepare?
Just the agreed spot and a contact on the day. We bring the roaster, cover and serving kit.
Do you do DIY hire for parties?
You can hire the machine. We will explain what’s supplied and how it works.
Do children like hog roasts?
Plain pork rolls go down well with children, and chicken or a vegan sausage covers fussy eaters.

Looking after everyone
Most people love a hog roast, but it’s pork. Some ways to look after everyone:
- Ask us to label vegetarian and vegan food
- Check the allergen list, as stuffing normally contains gluten
- Plan separately for anyone who needs halal food
- Find out who does not eat pork for the alternatives
Warn the neighbours: roasting takes hours and the smell travels.
Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed.
What we serve, dish by dish
Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
Tell us how many vegans to expect, and we will bring enough vegan burgers or sausages.
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
A hog roast roll is designed to be eaten in the hand. Gluten-free rolls can be provided on request.
Should I cook it myself?
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
