Your questions about a hog roast for the wake in Temple Valley
Do you come out to small places like Temple Valley?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
How far is Temple Valley from London?
About 58 miles from central London, and well within our area.
Do we need to provide electricity?
The roaster runs on gas, so we don’t need mains power to cook. A socket nearby is useful for lighting.
Do you offer gluten-free rolls?
We can provide gluten-free rolls if you ask. Ask for the allergen list, as stuffing normally contains gluten.
What happens in bad weather?
We cook under a gazebo, so rain is not a problem for the roast. Somewhere covered for people to eat helps.
What happens after service?
Our staff clear the serving area, so you are not left with the mess.
Can we hire the machine and cook it ourselves?
We do, if you are happy to roast and carve yourself. Ask and we’ll talk you through it.
How much will it be?
It depends on numbers, the menu and how long we are on site. Send us the details and we’ll quote.
