West Studdal: your questions answered
What’s the nearest station to West Studdal?
The closest is Martin Mill station, roughly 3 miles away.
We’re gathering after a service at East Studdal Church Hall: can you cater?
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 typically elsewhere. Send us the address.
What about coeliacs?
Gluten-free rolls are available on request. Ask for the allergen list, as stuffing normally contains gluten.
How long does a hog roast take to cook?
A whole hog roasts for several hours, so we arrive well before you want to eat. We plan the timings from when you want to eat.
Can you work around our timings?
Within reason, we can. Give us a contact on the day and we will fit around changes.
Does the roaster have to be outside?
It cooks outside, under a gazebo, on a level spot. The food can be carried in and served indoors where the venue allows.
Can the hog roast be for the evening?
Yes. We’ll time it around your first dance and band.
Is a hog roast OK for a sit-down meal?
Yes. We serve it on plates with salads and potatoes, with china available, with our staff serving.

Planning the cooking spot
A good cooking spot makes the day run smoothly. Ideally:

If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise.

Working with your venue
If you are a venue or event planner, we can fit around your other suppliers.
Venues often have rules for outside caterers, including where gas cooking is allowed. Ask early, and pass on anything they need from us.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
A hog roast is pork, so plan for anyone who doesn’t eat it. Here’s how to cover everyone:
- Request gluten-free rolls if needed
- If any guests need halal food, arrange it separately
- Share the menu with your venue coordinator
- Confirm final numbers a week or so before
For evening food, we carve as the dancing gets going.
Add spit-roast lamb for a second roast.

Catered or do it yourself?
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
You could roast a hog yourself, but it is a long day’s work, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
