Questions from Dallington
We’re gathering after a service at The Parish Church of St Giles: can you cater?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby with an outdoor spot for the roaster. Food is normally served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you will gather.
Is Dallington close to London?
Roughly 43 miles from the centre of London.
How do you work out quantities?
Quantities are based on your numbers, and we’ll talk it through when we quote.
Can we have both pork and lamb?
Yes, spit-roast lamb can go alongside the pork.
Can the hog roast be cooked indoors?
Outside, always. Serving indoors is normally fine if the venue is happy.
How soon do you get booked up?
The earlier the better for popular dates. But do ask even at short notice: send us your details through our quote form.
What about coeliacs?
Ask for gluten-free rolls and we will bring them. We will give you full allergen information for every dish.
Do you leave the area tidy?
We pack everything away after service, and we take our equipment with us.

How it works
We get there well ahead of service, because a whole hog takes hours to roast. The smell generally brings people over long before we carve. In Dallington, evening wedding food frequently coincides with dusk: sunset is around 8:50pm in late May, 9:15pm at midsummer and 7:00pm in late September. A few lights by the serving table help guests and photos alike.

Should I cook it myself?
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.
