Appleshaw questions
Do you come out to small places like Appleshaw?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Is Appleshaw close to London?
About 66 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
Do you need lighting?
It is dark before 4pm in December, so we plan lighting with you.
What do people get?
The classic: pork in rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. Your quote lists any sides and extras.
How big a hog will we need?
The roast is chosen to suit how many you are feeding, so a good estimate matters. We will confirm the menu in the quote.
What space does the roaster need?
A flat, open spot outside, and a way to wheel everything in. Send us a picture if you are unsure.
Can you roast in the rain?
We cook under a gazebo, so rain is not a problem for the roast. A marquee, hall or barn for eating makes all the difference.
Can you work around our timings?
We will be as flexible as we can. Keep us posted on the day and we will fit around changes.

Planning help
Working with your venue
If the event is on someone else’s land, you will need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
Marquee hire companies frequently have rules about cooking near their tents, so tell them a hog roast is coming. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.
Why choose a hog roast in Appleshaw?
Compared with a cold buffet, hot carved meat is far more welcome in December. Distance is part of the price: travel is included in your quote, with any London charges listed. Tell us the exact address for an accurate figure.
