Andwell: your questions answered
How far is Andwell from London?
About 43 miles from central London, and well within our area.
Is Andwell too small for a hog roast?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Do you need power or water?
The roaster runs on gas, so we don’t need mains power to cook. A socket nearby is useful for lighting.
Can the hog roast be cooked indoors?
It cooks outside, under a gazebo, on a level spot. The food can be carried in and served indoors where the venue allows.
Do you leave the area tidy?
We clear the serving area and pack away, and leave the area tidy.
What space does the roaster need?
A level, open area outdoors with room for the roaster, a gazebo and a carving table, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging trees. We’ll check it with you before booking.
Is it pay as you go?
It depends on how your event works. Tell us what you have in mind and we will talk it through.
How long does the roast need?
A whole hog roasts for several hours, so we arrive well before you want to eat. We work back from your serving time.
Why choose a hog roast in Andwell?
Next to a barbecue stall, carving is faster than grilling to order. The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, along with distance and how easy the site is. There’s no one-size price, which is why each one gets its own quote.
