Questions from Farthing Street
Can you cater after a service at St Mary's Church?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby with an outdoor spot for the roaster. Food is typically served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you will gather.
Can you do a hog roast in South Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, normally the council, and many parks do not allow cooking. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
Can the hog roast be for the evening?
Yes, evening food is very popular. Hot pork rolls are perfect late in the evening.
Do you clear up?
We clear the serving area and pack away, and leave the area tidy.
How much does a hog roast cost?
Every booking is quoted individually, based on numbers, menu, service time and distance. Ask us for a quote.
What space does the roaster need?
Roughly the footprint of a gazebo or two, on level ground, well clear of walls, tents and branches. We’ll confirm the space with your quote.
What if our venue has its own caterer?
Many do, but some only allow approved caterers or charge a fee. Check with them first, and we’ll work with them on the details.
Do you bring plates?
We bring plates as standard. China crockery is available on request and quoted separately.
Looking after everyone
Not everyone eats pork, so it’s worth adding an alternative. Helpful tips:
- Request gluten-free rolls if needed
- Note which guests do not eat pork, so we can add lamb, chicken or vegetarian options
- Give your coordinator the final menu
- Put a dietary question on the invitation
We’ll be at the venue for most of the day, out of the way, by the cooking area.

Space, access and the venue

- The venue’s agreement to a gas-fired roaster
