Climping questions
Is Climping close to London?
About 52 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
Can you cater after a service at The Parish Church of St Mary?
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 typically elsewhere. Tell us where you will gather.
How much does a hog roast cost?
It depends on numbers, the menu and how long we are on site. Send us the details and we will quote.
How much room do you need?
A flat, open spot outside, and a way to wheel everything in. A picture helps.
Do you leave the area tidy?
We pack everything away after service, and we take our equipment with us.
Is a hog roast OK for a sit-down meal?
Yes. We serve it on plates with salads and potatoes, with china available, with our staff serving.
Do we need our own staff?
You don’t need anyone else: our chef carves and our team serves and clears.
How soon do you get booked up?
The earlier the better for popular dates. But do ask even at short notice: fill in our quote form.

Stuffing and apple sauce
Sage and onion stuffing and apple sauce are the classic partners, cutting through the richness of the pork.
