Shenley Church End: your questions answered
Can you do a hog roast in South Loughton Valley park?

Do you cover Shenley Church End?
Yes. We cater across London and the South East, including Shenley Church End and Milton Keynes. Send us the address for a quote.
When do you start roasting?
A whole hog roasts for several hours, so we arrive well before you want to eat. We plan the timings from when you want to eat.
Can you roast in the rain?
The roaster is under cover, so a shower does not stop us. Your guests will want somewhere dry to eat.

Within reason, we can. Give us a contact on the day and we’ll fit around changes.
How do you work out quantities?
Quantities are based on your numbers, and we’ll talk it through when we quote.

It is dark before 4pm in December, so we plan lighting with you.
Full catering or machine hire?
A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.
