Cross Gate questions
Can you cater after a service at The Parish Church of St Michael and All Angels?
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. Tell us where you’ll gather.
Can you do a hog roast in Parham Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, typically the council, and many parks don’t allow cooking. Ask them first.
Where does the hog roast go?
A level, open area outdoors with room for the roaster, a gazebo and a carving table, well clear of walls, tents and branches. We will confirm the space with your quote.
What happens after service?
We pack everything away after service, so you’re not left with the mess.
Do you bring plates?
Plates come as standard. China crockery is available on request and quoted separately.
Can you roast in the rain?
The roaster is under cover, so a shower does not stop us. Your guests will want somewhere dry to eat.
Who serves?
You do not need anyone else: our chef carves and our team serves and clears.
Can a hog roast be our wedding breakfast?
Yes. We serve it on plates with salads and potatoes, with china available, with our staff serving.

Planners, venues and businesses
If you’re organising for someone else, whether you are a planner, a PA or on a committee, tell us who our contact on the day will be. We’ll keep you both updated.
If you’re a venue or event planner, we can fit around your other suppliers, sharing timings and a site plan.
DIY versus a catered hog roast
We also hire out the hog roast machine for confident cooks. You do the roasting and carving; we will explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
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.
Where the roaster can go in Cross Gate
Most gardens, car parks, yards and fields work with a little planning. Here’s what helps:
- Lighting for evening service
- A level spot near, but not too near, the marquee
- Permission for outside catering
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before booking.
