Questions from Singleton
Can you cater after a service at The Parish Church of the Blessed Virgin Mary?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Churches rarely have space for a hog roast, so the food is normally elsewhere. Tell us where you’ll gather.
Is Singleton close to London?
Roughly 50 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
Can you roast in the rain?
We roast under cover, so the food is not affected. Plan somewhere sheltered for eating.
What do you need from us on the day?
Just the agreed spot and a contact on the day. Everything for roasting and serving comes with us.
Do you need power or water?
Not to cook, because the roaster is gas-fired. Tell us what’s available and we will plan around it.
Do you clear up?
We clear the serving area and pack away, leaving the spot as we found it.
Do you cover Singleton?
Yes, Singleton is in our area. Send us the address and we’ll confirm availability.
Can we hire the machine and cook it ourselves?
Yes, we hire out the hog roast machine. We’ll confirm what comes with it and how to use it.
