Your questions about a hog roast day in Waddesdon
Is Waddesdon close to London?
Roughly 43 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
Do you come out to small places like Waddesdon?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
How do we prepare?
A clear, level cooking spot, a route to wheel the equipment in and a contact for the day. We will bring the rest.
How much will it be?
Every booking is quoted individually, based on numbers, menu, service time and distance. Tell us about your care home event for a quote.
Can you carve thinly?
We can carve thinly and serve on plates with potatoes and apple sauce.
Can you roast in the rain?
Rain doesn’t stop the cooking. A marquee, hall or barn for eating makes all the difference.
Can you be flexible on serving time?
We work back from when you want to eat, and we can hold the roast for a while if the day runs behind.
How long does the roast need?
It depends on the size of the hog and the weather, but it’s several hours. We will confirm our arrival time when we quote.
Planning the cooking spot
The roaster needs the right spot, because it cooks outside for several hours, and a little planning goes a long way:
- A level spot in the garden or car park
- Approval from the home
- Clear of ambulance and delivery access
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise.
What we serve
- Roast potatoes
- Stuffing and apple sauce
- Roast pork, carved
- Rotisserie chicken
- Salads
- Halloumi skewers (V)
- Vegan option (Ve)
