Your questions about a hog roast for the wake in Britwell Salome
Do you come out to small places like Britwell Salome?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
We’re gathering after a service at Church of St Nicholas: can you cater?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby with an outdoor spot for the roaster. Churches rarely have space for a hog roast, so the food is typically elsewhere. Send us the address.
Do we need our own staff?
No need for your own staff: our chef carves and our team serves and clears.
Do you cater in village halls?
At home, a hall, a club or a venue, given an outdoor cooking area.
What space does the roaster need?
A level, open area outdoors with room for the roaster, a gazebo and a carving table, well clear of walls, tents and branches. We’ll confirm the space with your quote.
Can you cater a wake at short notice?
Often, yes. Contact us as soon as you have a date and we’ll answer right away.
Do we need to provide electricity?
The roaster runs on gas, so we don’t need mains power to cook. Power can help with lighting after dark.
Is crockery included?
We supply plates as standard. You can upgrade to china if you prefer.
