Questions from Egham Wick
Could you cook in Riverside Walk?
Only if the landowner, generally the council, allows it. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
Is Egham Wick too small for a hog roast?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
What if things run late?
Because the roast takes hours, we plan from your serving time, and we can hold the roast for a while if the day runs behind.
Can visitors eat too?
Of course: include them in your numbers.
How far ahead should we book?
Summer Saturdays and December book up first. For other dates, a few weeks can be enough. Ask and we will check.
Can we hire the machine and cook it ourselves?
Yes, for confident cooks. We will explain the details with your quote.
How long does the roast need?
Hours rather than minutes. You’ll know our arrival time in advance.
What time do you serve?
