Questions from Tiddington
How far is Tiddington from London?
Roughly 45 miles from the centre of London.
We are gathering after a service at Church of St Helen: can you cater?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby with an outdoor spot for the roaster. Food is typically served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you will gather.
Who serves?
We carve and serve for you, then clear the serving area afterwards.
How quickly can you cater a wake?
Frequently, yes. Contact us when the date is set and we’ll answer straight away.
Can you do gluten-free?
Gluten-free rolls are available on request. Stuffing generally contains gluten, so check the allergen information.

Roast pork carved into soft rolls with sage and onion stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. You can add lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options, salads, coleslaw and potatoes.
When do you start roasting?
A whole hog roasts for several hours, so we arrive well before you want to eat. We work back from your serving time.

That is fine: we hold the food until people arrive.
