Common questions in Winslow
How far is Winslow from London?
About 46 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
Can you cater in Winslow?
We do. Send us the address and we will check the date.
Can you serve on plates?
We’ll serve however suits your residents.
Where does the hog roast go?
Enough level ground outdoors for the roaster and a serving table under cover, plus a step-free route to wheel the equipment in. Send us a picture if you are unsure.
What if it rains?
Rain doesn’t stop the cooking. Somewhere covered for people to eat helps.
Do you need power or water?
The roaster runs on gas, so we do not need mains power to cook. Power can help with lighting after dark.
How do you handle allergies?
Every dish comes with allergen information.
What about texture-modified diets?
We do not prepare texture-modified meals; your team prepares those portions.
Organising for someone else?
If you are booking for a workplace, ask your facilities team about outside caterers and gas cooking. We’ll fit in with site rules.
If you are a venue or event planner, we’re happy to work alongside your team, sharing timings and a site plan.
Planning for dietary needs
A hog roast is pork, so plan for anyone who doesn’t eat it. Some ways to look after everyone:
- Stuffing generally contains gluten
- Ask the kitchen to prepare texture-modified portions
- Request gluten-free rolls
- Request thin slices
We arrive early and set up outdoors, following your sign-in and safety rules.
Ask about china.

The process
Here’s how the day usually runs: the roaster goes up and the hog goes on, the pork cooks slowly for hours, and we carve and serve at the agreed time. For a summer hog roast day in Winslow, residents can enjoy the garden in daylight until about 9:25pm, so an afternoon in the garden works well. In winter, dark by about 3:55pm, a lunchtime event is better.

- We agree the cooking spot and quote.
- We roast through the morning.
- We serve inside or out.
- We clear away quietly.
