A hog roast or other catering?

Should I cook it myself?
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.
You could go for a cold buffet, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience.

Stuffing and apple sauce
Sharp, sweet apple sauce and savoury sage and onion stuffing are the traditional pairing. Stuffing normally contains gluten.

Common questions in Whitchurch Hill
Do you come out to small places like Whitchurch Hill?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Can you cater after a service at St John the Baptist?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby with an outdoor spot for the roaster. Food is normally served at the reception venue rather than the church. Send us the address.
When should we book?
The earlier the better for popular dates. But it is always worth asking: send us your details through our quote form.
How do we prepare?
Only the space and a contact number. We bring the roaster, cover and serving kit.
Can you cook inside the marquee?
The roaster stays outdoors on level ground.
How big a hog will we need?
We size the roast to your numbers, so a good estimate matters. The quote sets it out.
Do we need our own staff?
No need for your own staff: our chef carves and our team serves and clears.
What happens in bad weather?
The roaster is under cover, so a shower doesn’t stop us. Your guests will want somewhere dry to eat.
