Questions from Palmers Green
Can you cater after a service at Palmers Green United Reformed Church?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Churches rarely have space for a hog roast, so the food is generally elsewhere. Send us the address.
What’s the nearest station to Palmers Green?
Palmers Green has its own station: Palmers Green station.
What happens after service?
Our staff clear up after service, leaving the spot as we found it.
When should we book?
The earlier the better for popular dates. But do ask even at short notice: use our quote form.
Can we hire the machine and cook it ourselves?
We do, if you are happy to roast and carve yourself. We will explain the details with your quote.
Can you roast in the rain?
Rain does not stop the cooking. Somewhere covered for people to eat helps.
How big a hog will we need?
Quantities are based on your numbers, and we will confirm everything in writing.
Can you work around our timings?
Because the roast takes hours, we plan from your serving time, and we can hold the roast for a while if the day runs behind.
Should I cook it myself?
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience, especially outdoors.
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.
