Throwing a party is hard work. With a hog roast, the food is sorted: we roast, carve, serve and clear. Typical bookings include getting-engaged parties and street parties, with jacket potatoes, a vegan burger or sausage and apple sauce.
Country parties near West Langdon suit a hog roast: slow-roasted and eaten outside. Plan shelter in case it rains. We plan the timings around your day, because the roast has to start hours before you eat.

Can you cater after a service at St Mary the Virgin?
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 will gather.

Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.

It cooks outside, under a gazebo, on a level spot. Serving indoors is normally fine if the venue is happy.
