Your questions about a hog roast for your team in Jacobs Well
How far is Jacobs Well from London?
About 26 miles from central London, and well within our area.
What’s the nearest station to Jacobs Well?
The closest is Worplesdon station, roughly 1.5 miles away.
Do you bring plates?
We bring plates as standard. China crockery is available on request and quoted separately.
What happens after service?
We pack everything away after service, and we take our equipment with us.
Do we need to provide electricity?
Cooking is gas-fired, so no mains power is needed for the roast. Power can help with lighting after dark.
How do we prepare?
Just the agreed spot and a contact on the day. We bring the roaster, cover and serving kit.
Do we need our own staff?
We carve and serve for you, and we clear up when service is finished.
Do you do DIY hog roast hire?
Yes, we hire out the hog roast machine. We will confirm what comes with it and how to use it.
Should I cook it myself?
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.
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.
About the food
Stuffing and apple sauce
Apple sauce brings sweetness and sharpness go with the pork perfectly. Stuffing normally contains gluten.
Crackling
Good crackling needs time and heat, and a whole hog roasted slowly gets it just right.
