Questions from Chalgrove
Is Chalgrove close to London?
About 44 miles from central London, and well within our area.
Can you do a hog roast at a venue in the Chilterns National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about cooking and vehicles, so check with yours. We’ll follow the site rules.
Can you work around our timings?
Because the roast takes hours, we plan from your serving time, and a cooked roast can be held for a while if things run late.
Can you work to the call sheet?
We work to your schedule, holding the roast if lunch moves.
What space does the roaster need?
Roughly the footprint of a gazebo or two, on level ground, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging trees. We will check it with you before booking.
Do you cover Chalgrove?
Yes. We cover London and the South East, Chalgrove and the rest of Oxfordshire included. Tell us the venue and we will quote.
Will there be enough to go round?
Quantities are based on your numbers, and we’ll confirm everything in writing.
What comes with the hog roast?
Pork, stuffing, apple sauce and crackling in a soft roll. Sides and extra meats are listed in your quote.
For planners, venues and organisers
For workplace bookings, check with facilities about gas equipment and vehicle access. We work to the site’s rules.
Marquee hire companies often have rules about cooking near their tents, so tell them a hog roast is coming. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.
