How our Christmas hog roast works in Wargrave
Winter weather is part of the plan: we cook under cover, and guests eat somewhere warm. A hall, office or marquee works well. We serve apple sauce, roast turkey and rotisserie chicken, and we’re regularly asked to cater late-night shopping events and year-end thank-yous.
In Wargrave, festive gatherings tend to be at home or the hall. We need firm ground and some light. Your quote spells out what’s included: the date, the serving time, the menu and the plates, with no surprises on the day.
For event organisers in Wargrave
If you’re planning an event on someone’s behalf, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, let us know who we’ll deal with on the day. We will keep you both updated.
If the event is on someone else’s land, you’ll need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
