Hartwell questions
Can you do a hog roast at a venue in the Chilterns National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about cooking and vehicles, so check with yours. We will follow the site rules.
Can you cater after a service at St Mary's Church?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Food is generally served at the reception venue rather than the church. Send us the address.
What about guests who don’t eat pork?
There are lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options: spit-roast lamb, rotisserie chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers or a vegan burger or sausage. We don’t offer halal meat.
What happens after service?
Our staff clear up after service, and leave the area tidy.
What do people get?
Roast pork carved into soft rolls with sage and onion stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. Extras include lamb, chicken, halloumi skewers, a vegan option, salads and potatoes.
Can you do gluten-free?
Ask for gluten-free rolls and we will bring them. You will get allergen details for everything.
Can you roast in the rain?
We cook under a gazebo, so rain is not a problem for the roast. Somewhere covered for people to eat helps.
Can you work around our timings?
Within reason, we can. Give us a contact on the day and we’ll adjust.
Planning for dietary needs
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. Here are a few tips:
- Note which guests do not eat pork, for lamb, chicken or a vegetarian choice
- Share the menu with your venue coordinator
- If any guests need halal food, arrange it separately
- Give us vegetarian and vegan numbers
Evening food normally goes out an hour or two after the first dance.
Ask for gluten-free rolls for any coeliac guests.
