About 30 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
We are gathering after a service at St Michael and St Mary Magdalene's Church: can you cater?
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 typically elsewhere. Tell us where you will gather.

No, the roast is cooked on gas. Let us know what’s on site.
Can you serve on plates?
We serve on plates, with china as an option.
Can you be flexible on serving time?
Within reason, we can. Give us a contact on the day and we’ll fit around changes.
Do you bring plates?
Plates come as standard. If you’d like china, ask and we’ll add it to the quote.
Do you leave the area tidy?
We clear the serving area and pack away, and leave the area tidy.
How do you work out quantities?
Quantities are based on your numbers, and we will talk it through when we quote.
