Axmansford questions
How far is Axmansford from London?
About 48 miles from central London.
Which station is closest to Axmansford?
Midgham station, about 3.4 miles north of the centre.
What if it rains?
The roaster is under cover, so a shower does not stop us. Your guests will want somewhere dry to eat.
How do we prepare?
The agreed cooking area, access for our equipment and someone to meet us. We bring everything else.
Do you do DIY hog roast hire?
DIY machine hire is available. We’ll explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
Is lighting needed?
It is dark before 4pm in December, so we’ll sort lighting together.
Can you cater for vegetarians?
The menu has lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options. We do not provide halal meat.
Do you come to Axmansford?
Yes. We cover London and the South East, Axmansford and the rest of Hampshire included. Send us the address for a quote.
Catered or do it yourself?
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.
