Is Woolbridge close to London?
About 36 miles from central London, and well within our area.
Do you come out to small places like Woolbridge?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
What about residents who do not eat pork?
We can add lamb or chicken, plus halloumi skewers for vegetarians and a vegan burger or sausage. Halal meat is not something we offer.

A flat, open spot outside, and a way to wheel everything in. A photo helps.
How soon do you get booked up?
As early as you can for summer weekends and December. For other dates, a few weeks can be enough. Ask and we will check.
What time do you serve?
Choose the time, and we will plan the roast around it.
When do you start roasting?
Hours rather than minutes. We will confirm our arrival time when we quote.
How do you work out quantities?
We size the roast to your numbers, so a good estimate matters. The quote sets it out.

- Halal isn’t offered
- Count residents who need an alternative
- Ask us to carve thinly for residents
- Include staff and visitors in your numbers
