Hoe questions
We are gathering after a service at Church of St Mark: 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 Hoe too small for a hog roast?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
What’s the price?
Numbers, menu and travel decide the price. Tell us your date and we’ll send a price.
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. We do not offer halal meat.
Can we just hire the roaster?
Yes, we hire out the hog roast machine. We will confirm what comes with it and how to use it.
Can you cook inside the marquee?
Always outside, away from the marquee walls. Serving inside is fine where allowed.
Can we add a second roast?
Yes, spit-roast lamb can go alongside the pork.
Do you do evening food?
Yes, evening food is very popular. Rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling go down well after dancing.

Most gardens, car parks, yards and fields work if a few things are right. Here’s what helps:

Should I cook it myself?
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
Other occasions in Hoe
- Cooked where you are, slowly, over several hours outdoors

- Options beyond pork, including lamb, chicken and vegetarian dishes
- Our team serves at your chosen time and clears up afterwards
