- Stuffing normally contains gluten, so check the allergen list
- Give final numbers in good time
- Halal isn’t offered, so plan separately if needed
- Note which guests don’t eat pork, for lamb, chicken or a vegetarian choice
Our staff serve and clear quietly, and leave you to celebrate.

Should I cook it myself?
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.
You could go for a cold buffet, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you.
Questions from Petworth
Can you cater after a service at Sacred Heart Church?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Food is usually served at the reception venue rather than the church. Send us the address.
Is Petworth too small for a hog roast?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
Do we need to provide electricity?
Not to cook, because the roaster is gas-fired. Tell us what’s available and we’ll plan around it.
How far ahead should we book?
Summer Saturdays and December book up first. For other dates, a few weeks can be enough. Send your date and we will check.
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.
When do you start roasting?
Hours rather than minutes. We will confirm our arrival time when we quote.
Can you do our evening wedding food?
It’s one of our most popular wedding bookings. Hot pork rolls are perfect late in the evening.
Can you cook inside the marquee?
Outside, under its own cover, a safe distance from the marquee. We can serve inside the marquee if the supplier agrees.
