Your questions about a hog roast for your party in West Stourmouth
Can you cater after a service at All Saints Church?
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 usually elsewhere. Send us the address.
Is West Stourmouth too small for a hog roast?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
What about kids?
Yes, and tell us how many children are coming, so we get the amounts right.
Where does the hog roast go?
Enough level ground outdoors for the roaster and a serving table under cover, plus a step-free route to wheel the equipment in. Send us a photo if you’re unsure.
Can we hire the machine and cook it ourselves?
We do, if you’re happy to roast and carve yourself. Ask and we will talk you through it.
What about the neighbours?
It’s worth warning them: roasting takes hours. They may want a roll.
What happens after service?
We clear the serving area and pack away, and leave the area tidy.
Do you bring plates and clear up?
We bring plates and clear up after service.

Planning help
Full catering or machine hire?
A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is usually easier.
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.
What the cooking area needs
The roaster needs the right spot, because it cooks outside for several hours, and a little planning goes a long way:
- Space for our vehicle near the drive
- Neighbours warned about the smell
- A spot well away from the house
Not sure about the cooking spot? Send us a photo and we will tell you honestly.

Allergies and dietary needs
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. Here are a few tips:
- Ask us to label vegetarian and vegan food
- Find out who does not eat pork so we can bring chicken or a vegetarian option
- Give us numbers for vegetarians and vegans
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if anyone needs them
We get there early to start the roast, so it is cooking when guests arrive.
Add chicken for younger or fussier guests.
Who books party hog roast in West Stourmouth?
