Questions from Nash
We are gathering after a service at Church of All Saints: 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 usually elsewhere. Send us the address.
What’s the nearest station to Nash?
Milton Keynes Central station, about 4.5 miles north-east of the centre.
Do you serve the food?
You do not need anyone else: we carve, serve and tidy up.
Can you cater at home?
At home, a hall, a club or a venue, as long as there is an outdoor spot to cook.
Will there be enough to go round?
We plan quantities from the numbers you give us, and we’ll confirm everything in writing.
How do we prepare?
Just the agreed spot and a contact on the day. We bring the roaster, cover and serving kit.
Do you need anything from the family?
Very little: an outdoor cooking spot and someone to meet us.
Can you roast in the rain?
Rain doesn’t stop the cooking. Somewhere covered for people to eat helps.
The process
Rain does not stop the roast, because we cook under cover. Your guests will still want somewhere dry to eat, such as a marquee, hall or barn. Autumn and winter afternoons in Nash get dark early: about 7:05pm in late September and 3:55pm in December, so a later wake may need lighting outside.
- It starts with the date, venue and when people are expected.
- We check the date and the cooking spot, then send a simple quote.
- We roast quietly while the service takes place.
- Food is ready when people arrive.
- We clear away discreetly.
Preparing for the day
- Plan somewhere sheltered for people to eat if it rains
- Make sure the cooking area is away from walls, tents and trees
- Plan a step-free way in for the equipment
