A hog roast or other catering?

Next to grilling to order, one roast serves everyone together. Numbers make the biggest difference: the price per head generally falls as numbers rise, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.

Shabbington questions

Do you come out to small places like Shabbington?

Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.

How far is Shabbington from London?

Roughly 44 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.

Do you do wrap parties?

Of course. Tell us the date and location.

Do we need our own staff?

We carve and serve for you, and we clear up when service is finished.

Is crockery included?

We supply plates as standard. China is available at an extra cost.

How do you work out quantities?

We plan quantities from the numbers you give us, and we’ll confirm everything in writing.

What about coeliacs?

Gluten-free rolls are available on request. Ask for the allergen list, as stuffing normally contains gluten.

Is mains power needed?

The roaster runs on gas, so we don’t need mains power to cook. Power can help with lighting after dark.

The process

Your timings come first. If things run late, we can hold the cooked roast for a while before carving, so tell us as soon as plans change. Late-September shoots near Shabbington lose the light at about 7:10pm, so a late wrap needs lighting at base.
