Heckfield Heath: your questions answered
We’re gathering after a service at Church of St Michael: can you cater?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby with an outdoor spot for the roaster. Churches rarely have space for a hog roast, so the food is generally elsewhere. Send us the address.
Is Heckfield Heath close to London?
About 39 miles from central London, and well within our area.
Can the hog roast be cooked indoors?
The roaster always stays outside, under cover, away from buildings and marquee walls. Serving inside is frequently possible, with the venue’s agreement.
Is mains power needed?
The roaster runs on gas, so we do not need mains power to cook. A socket nearby is useful for lighting.
Do you serve the food?
We carve and serve for you, and we clear up when service is finished.
Is a hog roast OK for a sit-down meal?
It works well as a relaxed main meal, with lamb, chicken and vegetarian options alongside.
Do you leave the area tidy?
Our staff clear up after service, and leave the area tidy.
What if things run late?
We work back from when you want to eat, and we can hold the roast for a while if the day runs behind.
What we serve, dish by dish
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
We can serve in rolls or on plates, with gluten-free rolls on request.
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Crunchy coleslaw suits roast pork, while salads and potatoes make a plated meal.
Full catering or machine hire?
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you.
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.
