Questions from Askett
Do you come out to small places like Askett?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
How far is Askett from London?
Roughly 35 miles from the centre of London.
What do you need from us on the day?
A clear, level cooking spot, a route to wheel the equipment in and a contact for the day. We’ll bring the rest.
What if it rains?
Rain doesn’t stop the cooking. A marquee, hall or barn for eating makes all the difference.
Can you work around our timings?
We’ll be as flexible as we can. Give us a contact on the day and we’ll fit around changes.
Where will the roaster go?
Always outside, agreed with the manager.
When do you start roasting?
A whole hog roasts for several hours, which is why we arrive hours ahead. We work back from your serving time.
Can families and staff join in?
Families and staff are welcome.
How it works
Slow roasting is the whole point: the meat cooks gently until it’s tender while the skin turns into crackling. It rests for a short while before carving. Late-September sunset in Askett is about 7:05pm, so we suggest a lunchtime serving in autumn.
- We talk through residents’ needs with your team.
- We send a quote.
- We set up outdoors, clear of access routes.
- We carve thinly and serve on plates.
- We tidy up and go.
Before we arrive
- Have a covered area for eating in case of rain
- Pick a flat, open area outside for cooking
- Gather dietary requirements early
How to get a price
