What else we do in Swanbourne
Catered or do it yourself?
A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.
You could roast a hog yourself, but it’s a long day’s work, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
FAQs for Swanbourne
We’re gathering after a service at Church of St Swithun: can you cater?
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 generally elsewhere. Tell us where you will gather.
Do you come out to small places like Swanbourne?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
What do people get?
Rolls with roast pork, stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. Extras include lamb, chicken, halloumi skewers, a vegan option, salads and potatoes.
Can you roast in the rain?
We cook under a gazebo, so rain is not a problem for the roast. A marquee, hall or barn for eating makes all the difference.
Do you provide china?
We bring plates as standard. If you’d like china, ask and we’ll add it to the quote.
Can you cook inside a hall or marquee?
Outside, always. Serving indoors is typically fine if the venue is happy.
Will guests be full?
For the main meal, add sides such as salads and potatoes; in the evening, rolls on their own work well.
When should we book?
As early as you can for summer weekends and December. For other dates, a few weeks can be enough. Send your date and we will check.
