How far is East Guldeford from London?
About 52 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
Do you come out to small places like East Guldeford?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
Can you cater a wake at short notice?
We do our best at short notice. Tell us the details and we’ll reply promptly.
Do you serve the food?
Our chef carves and our staff serve, then clear the serving area afterwards.
Do you offer gluten-free rolls?
Gluten-free rolls are available on request. Stuffing generally contains gluten, so check the allergen information.
Is mains power needed?
The roaster runs on gas, so we do not need mains power to cook. A socket nearby is useful for lighting.
Is it a sit-down meal?
Both are possible: rolls for a simple meal, plates with salads and potatoes for a fuller one.
Do you come to East Guldeford?
We do. Tell us the venue or postcode and we will confirm availability.
Is a hog roast right for your wake?
Some families mix a hog roast with cakes brought by friends, which is fine with us. Numbers make the biggest difference: bigger groups normally cost less per head, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.
