Kingston Bagpuize: your questions answered
Is Kingston Bagpuize close to London?
About 58 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
We’re gathering after a service at Church of St John the Baptist: 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.
Where can you serve a wake?
Wherever the family gathers, if the roaster can cook outside.
What do you need from us on the day?
Just the agreed spot and a contact on the day. We bring the roaster, cover and serving kit.
Do you serve the food?
We carve and serve for you, and we clear up when service is finished.
What about guests who do not eat pork?
Chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers or a vegan option. We do not offer halal meat.
What’s the price?
It depends on numbers, the menu and how long we are on site. Send us the details and we’ll quote.
Is mains power needed?
Cooking is gas-fired, so no mains power is needed for the roast. Power can help with lighting after dark.
