Questions from Whiteley Bank
We’re gathering after a service at St John's Church: can you cater?
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 usually elsewhere. Send us the address.
Do you come out to small places like Whiteley Bank?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
Will the smell bother the neighbours?
Give them a heads-up, especially if the roaster is near a fence.
What do people get?
Roast pork carved into soft rolls with sage and onion stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. You can add lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options, salads, coleslaw and potatoes.
How much room do you need?
A level, open area outdoors with room for the roaster, a gazebo and a carving table, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging trees. We will check it with you before booking.
Do we need cover?
Not for the cooking, but plan somewhere dry for guests.
Is a hog roast good for a children’s party?
Most children like pork in a soft roll, with chicken as an alternative.
Can you roast in the rain?
We cook under a gazebo, so rain isn’t a problem for the roast. Somewhere covered for people to eat helps.
Step by step
Service is quick once we start carving: the chef carves and the team serves, with the sides served alongside. When everyone has eaten, we clear up and leave the spot tidy. Sunset in Whiteley Bank is about 8:55pm in late May and 9:20pm in late June, so most summer parties eat in daylight. After about 4:00pm in December, we need light to carve.

Not everyone eats pork, so plan an alternative. A few pointers:

- Tell us how many vegetarians and vegans to expect
We set up in the agreed spot, leaving the garden to you and your guests.
Rotisserie chicken is popular at family parties.
