FAQs for Hardwick
Is Hardwick too small for a hog roast?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
Is Hardwick close to London?
About 61 miles from central London, and well within our area.
Can the food be served indoors?
We cook outside, but can usually serve indoors if the venue agrees.
Do you clear up?
We clear the serving area and pack away, leaving the spot as we found it.
Can you cook inside a hall or marquee?
The roaster always stays outside, under cover, away from buildings and marquee walls. We can often serve indoors if the venue agrees.
Can you do turkey for a Christmas party?
Roast turkey can be added for Christmas, as well as the hog.
What space does the roaster need?
A flat, open spot outside, plus a step-free route to wheel the equipment in. A photo helps.
Can you do gluten-free?
Ask for gluten-free rolls and we’ll bring them. You will get allergen details for everything.
What comes off the roaster
Roast turkey
Offer turkey and pork, and everyone’s happy, with roast potatoes on the side.
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Add salads, coleslaw and potatoes to make it a proper meal, especially at a sit-down event.
DIY versus a catered hog roast
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
Full catering or machine hire? Catered means we do everything: roasting, carving, serving and clearing. With DIY hire, you do the work and save on staffing.
Is a hog roast right for your Christmas party?
Next to a cold Christmas buffet, hot carved meat is far more welcome in December. Midweek and quieter months are frequently easier to book, and the menu you choose makes a difference too. Ask us and we’ll suggest the best fit for your budget.
