Lower Kingswood questions
We’re gathering after a service at Church of Jesus Christ and the Wisdom of God: can you cater?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby with an outdoor spot for the roaster. Food is normally served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you’ll gather.
Can you do a hog roast in Eyhurst Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, typically the council, and many parks do not allow cooking. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
Can we hire the machine and cook it ourselves?
We do, if you are happy to roast and carve yourself. Ask and we will talk you through it.
Can you do our evening wedding food?
Yes. We will time it around your first dance and band.
What if our venue has its own caterer?
Many do, but some only allow approved caterers or charge a fee. Ask your venue early, and we will liaise with them.
Is mains power needed?
Cooking is gas-fired, so no mains power is needed for the roast. Power can help with lighting after dark.
How do we prepare?
A clear, level cooking spot, a route to wheel the equipment in and a contact for the day. We bring everything else.
Do you provide china?
Plates are included. You can upgrade to china if you prefer.

Festoon lights by the carving station look lovely in the photos.
