Wheatley: your questions answered
How far is Wheatley from London?
Roughly 48 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
Do you offer gluten-free rolls?
Gluten-free rolls are available on request. Stuffing normally contains gluten, so check the allergen information.
Do you do DIY hog roast hire?
DIY machine hire is available. We will confirm what comes with it and how to use it.
Can you roast in the rain?
The roaster is under cover, so a shower doesn’t stop us. Plan somewhere sheltered for eating.
How long does the roast need?
Hours rather than minutes. You will know our arrival time in advance.
What do you need from us on the day?
The agreed cooking area, access for our equipment and someone to meet us. We bring everything else.
When should we book?
Summer Saturdays and December book up first. For other dates, a few weeks can be enough. Send your date and we will check.
Can visitors eat too?
Many homes make it a family day; just tell us total numbers.
Care home hog roast in Wheatley, carved to order
For residents, we carve thinly and serve on plates, rather than in rolls if that is easier. Texture-modified meals should come from the home’s own kitchen. Typical bookings include summer fêtes and residents’ themed days, with roast potatoes, apple sauce and rotisserie chicken.
For a care home in a place like Wheatley, a hog roast is a real event for residents. We bring plates as standard, with china available if you’d like it, at an extra cost.
