Questions from Godalming
Which station is closest to Godalming?
Godalming station, in Godalming itself.
Is Godalming close to London?
Roughly 31 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
Can the hog roast be cooked indoors?
It cooks outside, under a gazebo, on a level spot. Serving indoors is typically fine if the venue is happy.
Where do you set up on a shoot?
Usually, if there’s a level, open spot for the roaster under cover. We’ll agree it with your location manager.
Do you go to remote locations?
Normally, with good directions and access details. Let us know about the route.
Do you leave the area tidy?
We clear the serving area and pack away, leaving the spot as we found it.
What’s included?
Roast pork carved into soft rolls with sage and onion stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. Extras include lamb, chicken, halloumi skewers, a vegan option, salads and potatoes.
How long does a hog roast take to cook?
Hours rather than minutes. We’ll confirm our arrival time when we quote.
Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Compared with sandwiches from a shop, hot food makes a difference on a long day. When comparing prices, compare the same things: the menu, sides, service time, staffing, crockery and travel. The cheapest quote is not always the best value.
