Common questions in Longstock
Is Longstock too small for a hog roast?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
Can you cater after a service at Church of St Mary?
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 normally elsewhere. Send us the address.
How do we prepare?
A clear, level cooking spot, a route to wheel the equipment in and a contact for the day. We’ll bring the rest.
Is a hog roast OK for a sit-down meal?
Yes. We serve it on plates with salads and potatoes, with china available, with our staff serving.
Can you work around our timings?
Because the roast takes hours, we plan from your serving time, and a cooked roast can be held for a while if things run late.
Do you leave the area tidy?
We pack everything away after service, and we take our equipment with us.
What space does the roaster need?
A flat, open spot outside, plus a step-free route to wheel the equipment in. Send us a picture if you’re unsure.
Do we need extra food?
With sides, it is a full wedding breakfast; for evening food, rolls are usually enough.

- Whether you want china
