How far is Meonstoke from London?
Roughly 57 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
Does the roaster have to be outside?
The roaster always stays outside, under cover, away from buildings and marquee walls. We can often serve indoors if the venue agrees.
Do you offer gluten-free rolls?
Gluten-free rolls are available on request. Ask for the allergen list, as stuffing normally contains gluten.
What space does the roaster need?
Enough level ground outdoors for the roaster and a serving table under cover, and a way to wheel everything in. Send us a picture if you are unsure.
Can we hire the machine and cook it ourselves?
Yes, for confident cooks. We will explain the details with your quote.
Do you do wrap parties?
Of course. Tell us the date and location.
Do you cover Meonstoke?
Yes. We cater across London and the South East, Meonstoke and the rest of Hampshire included. Send us the address for a quote.
Organising for someone else?
Marquee suppliers typically set distances for cooking equipment, so tell them a hog roast is coming. We’ll keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.
