- Lighting for evening service

- The venue’s agreement to a gas-fired roaster
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.

Questions from Plummers Plain
Can you cater after a service at St Mary's Church?
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 usually elsewhere. Send us the address.
How far is Plummers Plain from London?
About 32 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
Can we add a second roast?
Yes, spit-roast lamb can go alongside the pork.
Does the roaster have to be outside?
Outside, always. The food can be carried in and served indoors where the venue allows.
How far ahead should we book?
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.
What’s the price?
It depends on numbers, the menu and how long we’re on site. Tell us your date and we’ll send a price.
Will there be enough to go round?
Quantities are based on your numbers, and we will talk it through when we quote.
When do you start roasting?
A whole hog roasts for several hours, so we arrive well before you want to eat. We work back from your serving time.
Full catering or machine hire?
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
You could go for a cold buffet, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience, especially outdoors.
