Common questions in West Marden
We’re gathering after a service at The Parish Church of St Mary: can you cater?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Food is usually served at the reception venue rather than the church. Send us the address.
Do you come out to small places like West Marden?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Who serves?
We carve and serve for you, and we clear up when service is finished.
Do you do DIY hog roast hire?
We do, if you are happy to roast and carve yourself. Ask and we’ll talk you through it.
Is clearing up included?
We tidy the serving area, so there’s very little washing up.
Can you do a hog roast in our back garden?
Often, yes, if there is a level spot away from the house and trees, and a way to wheel the equipment through. Send us a picture.
Is mains power needed?
The roaster runs on gas, so we do not need mains power to cook. A socket nearby is useful for lighting.
How do you work out quantities?
Quantities are based on your numbers, and we will confirm everything in writing.
