Common questions in Moss End
Do you come out to small places like Moss End?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
What’s the nearest station to Moss End?
The closest is Bracknell station, roughly 2.3 miles away.
Do you leave the area tidy?
We pack everything away after service, so you’re not left with the mess.
Do you serve rolls or plates?
Both are possible: plates with sides or simple rolls.
Who serves?
We carve and serve for you, then clear the serving area afterwards.
Can we hire the machine and cook it ourselves?
DIY machine hire is available. We’ll confirm what comes with it and how to use it.
What about coeliacs?
We can supply gluten-free rolls on request. We will give you full allergen information for every dish.
Can you cook inside a hall or marquee?
It cooks outside, under a gazebo, on a level spot. Serving indoors is typically fine if the venue is happy.
Is a hog roast right for your wake?
Compared with sandwich platters, a hog roast is a warm meal, especially in colder months. The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, plus travel and access. There’s no one-size price, so we quote each one individually.
What you get with us
- Self-contained: roaster, cover and serving kit
- The classics: stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- Choices for people who don’t eat pork
- Sides to make it a full meal
See our prices page or the cost guide.
The process
We roast under cover, so a shower will not spoil the food. Your guests will still want somewhere dry to eat, such as a marquee, hall or barn. Late-December sunset in Moss End is about 3:55pm, so an afternoon wake in winter needs lighting by the food. In summer, there’s daylight until about 9:25pm.
- Contact us as soon as you have a date.
- We confirm the space.
- We cook on site.
- Our staff serve without fuss.
- We leave the venue tidy.
Getting ready for the day
