Questions from Wierton
How far is Wierton from London?
About 34 miles from central London, and well within our area.
Do you come out to small places like Wierton?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
How much room do you need?
A flat, open spot outside, and a way to wheel everything in. A picture helps.
Do you do wrap parties?
Of course. Send us the details.
Do you go to remote locations?
We can, given access details. Let us know about the route.
Can you be flexible on serving time?
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.
Will there be enough to go round?
We size the roast to your numbers, so a good estimate matters. The quote sets it out.
What’s included?
The classic: pork in rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. Your quote lists any sides and extras.
Is a hog roast right for your shoot?
Compared with a barbecue, carving is quicker for big numbers. For larger numbers, a hog roast is normally good value, because one whole roast feeds plenty of people. The menu, extras such as china and the serving time all affect the final price.
