Common questions in Wormstone
Is Wormstone close to London?
About 42 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
Which station is closest to Wormstone?
The closest is Aylesbury Vale Parkway station, roughly 2.4 miles away.
Can you be flexible on serving time?
Because the roast takes hours, we plan from your serving time, and we can hold the roast for a while if the day runs behind.
Is there an alternative to pork?
Yes, add chicken or a vegetarian option for those who need them.
Can you wait?
We wait: we hold the food until people arrive.
Can you cook inside a hall or marquee?
It cooks outside, under a gazebo, on a level spot. The food can be carried in and served indoors where the venue allows.
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 cover Wormstone?
Yes. We cover London and the South East, including Wormstone and Buckinghamshire. Send us the address for a quote.
