Letcombe Regis questions
Is Letcombe Regis close to London?
About 59 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
We’re gathering after a service at Church of St Andrew: can you cater?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Food is typically served at the reception venue rather than the church. Send us the address.
Will there be enough to go round?
The roast is chosen to suit how many you are feeding, so a good estimate matters. We will confirm the menu in the quote.
What if people arrive late?
We wait: a cooked roast can be held for a while.
What do you need from us on the day?
The agreed cooking area, access for our equipment and someone to meet us. We will bring the rest.
What comes with the hog roast?
The classic: pork in rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. Your quote lists any sides and extras.
Do you serve the food?
No need for your own staff: we carve, serve and tidy up.
What if it rains?
The roaster is under cover, so a shower does not stop us. Plan somewhere sheltered for eating.
For planners, venues and organisers
Many venues set rules for outside caterers, from approved lists to where a gas roaster can go. Ask early, and pass on anything they need from us.
For workplace bookings, check with facilities about gas equipment and vehicle access. We will fit in with site rules.
The process
We take care of everything from the first hour of roasting to clearing away, so you can enjoy your wake in Letcombe Regis. In winter, it’s dark in Letcombe Regis by about 4:00pm, so an afternoon wake in winter needs lighting by the food. Summer wakes have daylight well into the evening.
- Share the date, place and rough numbers.
- We confirm availability and send a price.
- We set up and roast while you’re at the service.
- We serve when everyone arrives, calmly and without fuss.
- We tidy up and leave without fuss.
How to prepare
- Ensure the cooking area is away from walls, tents and trees
- Ensure we can wheel the roaster to the spot
- Have a covered area for eating in case of rain
