Questions from Flemings
Which station is closest to Flemings?
The closest is Sandwich station, roughly 2.8 miles away.
Can you cater after a service at Church of St Nicholas?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Food is typically served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you will gather.
Can you cater for vegetarians?
There are lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options: spit-roast lamb, rotisserie chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers or a vegan burger or sausage. Please note we don’t offer halal meat.
What if it rains?
Rain doesn’t stop the cooking. A marquee, hall or barn for eating makes all the difference.
Do you do evening food?
Yes. We will time it around your first dance and band.
Is mains power needed?
Not to cook, because the roaster is gas-fired. Tell us what’s available and we will plan around it.
Will there be enough to go round?
The roast is chosen to suit how many you’re feeding, so tell us your best estimate. The quote sets it out.
Do you bring plates?
Plates are included. You can upgrade to china if you prefer.
Wedding hog roast in Flemings, carved to order
For the wedding breakfast, a hog roast becomes a plated meal: roast pork, crackling and a choice of sides, with china available on request. We are frequently asked to cater weddings in a marquee and small, informal weddings, with halloumi skewers, carved roast pork and crackling.
Rural weddings around Flemings have a magic of their own, and a whole hog roasting through the afternoon adds to it. Plan a firm route in, especially if it rains. Everything is cooked on the day, at your venue, slowly, over several hours.
What else we do in Flemings
Diets, allergies and alternatives
Some guests won’t eat pork, so it’s worth adding an alternative. A few pointers:
- Ask about dietary needs on your RSVP card
- If any guests need halal food, arrange it separately
- Stuffing normally contains gluten, so check the allergen list
- Confirm final numbers a week or so before
Our staff serve and clear quietly, so the party carries on around us.
Festoon lights by the carving station look lovely in evening photos; tell your venue or marquee supplier.
A hog roast or other catering?
Next to a wedding barbecue, one roast feeds all your guests together. For larger numbers, a hog roast is generally good value, because one whole roast feeds a lot of people. Extras, china and longer service add to it.
What you get with us
- No surprises: everything in writing
- We bring everything to cook and serve
- Salads, potatoes and coleslaw to go with it
- Carved by our chef in front of your guests

What we serve, dish by dish
Spit-roast lamb
Spit-roast lamb is popular alongside the pork, and handy for anyone who does not eat pork.
Roast pork
The hog roasts slowly for hours, so the meat is tender and juicy, and our chef carves it to order.
Full catering or machine hire?
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.
Full catering or machine hire? With catering, our chef roasts, carves and serves, and our staff clear up. With DIY hire, you do the work and save on staffing.
