Common questions in South Ascot
Is South Ascot close to London?
Roughly 26 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
What’s the nearest station to South Ascot?
Ascot station, about 0.5 miles north-west of the centre.
How long does the roast need?
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 you do soft food?
Modified textures are best done by the home; we’ll work alongside your kitchen.
Who serves?
Our chef carves and our staff serve, and we clear up when service is finished.
What comes with the hog roast?
Rolls with roast pork, stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. Extras include lamb, chicken, halloumi skewers, a vegan option, salads and potatoes.
What about coeliacs?
Gluten-free rolls are available on request. Ask for the allergen list, as stuffing normally contains gluten.
Is mains power needed?
Cooking is gas-fired, so no mains power is needed for the roast. A socket nearby is useful for lighting.
Planners, venues and businesses
Marquee suppliers usually set distances for cooking equipment, so tell them a hog roast is coming. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so it is worth asking first. We’ll work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.
