How do you work out quantities?
We size the roast to your numbers, so a good estimate matters. We’ll confirm the menu in the quote.
Is it too cold for a hog roast?

Where the roaster can go in Waddon
The roaster needs the right spot, because it cooks outside for several hours, and a little planning goes a long way:
- A level outdoor area that can be lit
- A hall, office or heated marquee for guests
- A short route for our equipment
As a London location, Waddon is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and access takes planning: tell us about side or rear access, steps and parking for our vehicle.
