Questions from Hungerford
Is Hungerford too small for a hog roast?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
Is Hungerford close to London?
About 31 miles from central London, and well within our area.
What do you need from us on the day?
A clear, level cooking spot, a route to wheel the equipment in and a contact for the day. We will bring the rest.
Can you roast in the rain?
Rain doesn’t stop the cooking. Somewhere covered for people to eat helps.
Is crockery included?
Plates come as standard. China crockery is available on request and quoted separately.
Can we have roast turkey?
Roast turkey can be added for Christmas, alongside the pork.
Can you cook inside a hall or marquee?
No, the roast is always cooked outdoors under cover, away from buildings and marquee walls. Serving inside is frequently possible, with the venue’s agreement.
Is there a non-pork option?
The menu has lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options. Halal meat is not something we offer.
