Common questions in Horsebridge
Is Horsebridge too small for a hog roast?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Is Horsebridge close to London?
About 68 miles from central London.
What space does the roaster need?
Enough level ground outdoors for the roaster and a serving table under cover, and a way to wheel everything in. Send us a picture if you are unsure.
When should we book?
The earlier the better for popular dates. But it is always worth asking: use our quote form.
How long does a hog roast take to cook?
Several hours, depending on the size and the weather, so we arrive well before you want to eat. We plan the timings from when you want to eat.
Can we hire the machine and cook it ourselves?
We do, if you are happy to roast and carve yourself. We’ll explain the details with your quote.
Is there a non-pork option?
We can add lamb or chicken, plus halloumi skewers for vegetarians and a vegan burger or sausage. We don’t provide halal meat.
Do you provide china?
Plates are included. China is available at an extra cost.
