Questions from Netherne on-the-Hill
We are gathering after a service at Church of St Margaret: can you cater?
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. Tell us where you’ll gather.
What’s the nearest station to Netherne on-the-Hill?
The closest is Coulsdon South station, roughly 1.6 miles away.
Do we need extra food?
With sides, it is a full wedding breakfast; for evening food, rolls are normally enough.
Can we just hire the roaster?
Yes, for confident cooks. We will explain the details with your quote.
Do you bring plates?
Plates are included. You can upgrade to china if you prefer.
How soon do you get booked up?
As early as you can for summer weekends and December. Quieter dates can frequently be booked at shorter notice. Send your date and we will check.
Will our venue allow a hog roast?
Many do, but some only allow approved caterers or charge a fee. Ask your venue early, and we will liaise with them.
What if it rains?
We cook under a gazebo, so rain isn’t a problem for the roast. Somewhere covered for people to eat helps.

What happens on the day
Slow roasting is the whole point: the meat cooks gently until it is tender while the skin crisps into crackling. Then it rests briefly before our chef carves. For a summer wedding in Netherne on-the-Hill, the sun sets at about 9:20pm in late June and about 7:05pm in late September, which means an evening hog roast is generally served in daylight in high summer. For autumn and winter weddings, when it is dark by about 3:55pm in December, plan lighting at the carving station.

Event organisers frequently ask caterers for paperwork such as a risk assessment. Tell us what you need and we will confirm what we can provide.
DIY versus a catered hog roast
If you’re confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You do the roasting and carving; we will confirm what comes with it when you ask.
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.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
Most people love a hog roast, but it’s pork. Here’s how to cover everyone:
- Confirm final numbers a week or so before
- Ask for gluten-free rolls for coeliac guests
- Put a dietary question on the invitation
- Stuffing normally contains gluten
Evening food typically goes out an hour or two after the first dance.
Add spit-roast lamb for a second roast.
