Goodworth Clatford questions
What’s the nearest station to Goodworth Clatford?
Andover station, about 2.4 miles north of the centre.
Do you come out to small places like Goodworth Clatford?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Who serves?
No need for your own staff: we carve, serve and tidy up.
How do you handle allergies?
Every dish comes with allergen information.
What if it rains?
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 we need to provide electricity?
Cooking is gas-fired, so no mains power is needed for the roast. Power can help with lighting after dark.
Do you cover Goodworth Clatford?
Yes. We cover London and the South East, including Goodworth Clatford and Hampshire. Send us the address for a quote.
Can the hog roast be cooked indoors?
The roaster always stays outside, under cover, at a safe distance from walls and tents. Serving inside is often possible, with the venue’s agreement.
