Your questions about a hog roast for the crew in Priestwood
How far is Priestwood from London?
Roughly 22 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
Is Priestwood too small for a hog roast?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
Can you set up at the unit base?
At base, on level ground. Locations will confirm the spot.
Who serves?

Is there a non-pork option?

Does the roaster have to be outside?
Outside, always. The food can be carried in and served indoors where the venue allows.
What about coeliacs?
Ask for gluten-free rolls and we’ll bring them. We will give you full allergen information for every dish.
Organising for someone else?

If the event is on someone else’s land, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
