FAQs for Bagmore
What’s the nearest station to Bagmore?
The closest is Alton station, roughly 4.9 miles away.
Is Bagmore close to London?
About 46 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
Do you come to Bagmore?
Yes, Bagmore is in our area. Tell us the venue or postcode and we’ll confirm availability.
What’s included?
Pork, stuffing, apple sauce and crackling in a soft roll. Your quote lists any sides and extras.
How do we prepare?
Just the agreed spot and a contact on the day. Everything for roasting and serving comes with us.
Do we need to provide electricity?
Cooking is gas-fired, so no mains power is needed for the roast. Power can help with lighting after dark.
What happens in bad weather?
Rain doesn’t stop the cooking. Somewhere covered for people to eat helps.
Can you do turkey for a Christmas party?
Yes: add turkey to the menu.
Catered or do it yourself?
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from early set-up to carving at the end. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.
The process
Serving is straightforward: the chef carves and the team serves, with the sides served alongside. When everyone has eaten, we clear up and leave the spot tidy. In December, it’s dark in Bagmore by about 4:00pm, so plan lighting for any party after mid-afternoon. We start in daylight and cook into the dark.
- Ask early for a December date.
- We check your venue and send a quote.
- We set up under cover in daylight.
- We serve pork, turkey and sides.
- We clear the serving area and go.
How to prepare
- Ask about allergies and dietary needs beforehand
- Tell us about narrow gates or side passages
- Send final numbers in good time
