Bagshot questions
We are gathering after a service at The Brook 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 normally elsewhere. Send us the address.
Can you do a hog roast in Bagshot Park?
Only if the landowner, usually the council, allows it. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
Where does the hog roast go?
A flat, open spot outside, and a way to wheel everything in. A picture helps.
Do you clear up?
We pack everything away after service, so you’re not left with the mess.
Do we need our own staff?
You don’t need anyone else: our chef carves and our team serves and clears.
What about coeliacs?
We can supply gluten-free rolls on request. We will give you full allergen information for every dish.
Will our venue allow a hog roast?
It depends on the venue. Ask your venue early, and we will liaise with them.
What if things run late?
Because the roast takes hours, we plan from your serving time, and a cooked roast can be held for a while if things run late.

Roast pork
We carve as we serve, which keeps it hot and moist.
Step by step
Serving is straightforward: our chef carves and our staff fill the rolls or plates, with the sides served alongside. When everyone has eaten, we clear up and leave the spot tidy.

What else we do in Bagshot
DIY versus a catered hog roast
You could go for a cold buffet, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience, especially outdoors.
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.
Planners, venues and businesses
For events on land you do not own, such as a park or field, you’ll need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
Planning on behalf of a committee? A single point of contact keeps things simple, particularly when timings shift.
- Cooked where you are, slowly, over several hours outdoors
- Our chef carves the pork, with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling on the side
- Vegetarian and vegan choices, plus lamb or chicken if you like
- Served by our staff at the time you choose, then cleared away
