Questions from Bobbing
Can you come to a school fair in Bobbing?
Yes, with the school’s permission. Send us the date and where the roaster would go.
How far is Bobbing from London?
Roughly 36 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
Do you trade at village fêtes?
We do. Send us the details.
When do you start roasting?
A whole hog roasts for several hours, which is why we arrive hours ahead. We plan the timings from when you want to eat.
Do you leave the area tidy?
We pack everything away after service, so you are not left with the mess.
Can you do gluten-free?
Gluten-free rolls are available on request. Stuffing usually contains gluten, so check the allergen information.
Does the roaster have to be outside?
It cooks outside, under a gazebo, on a level spot. The food can be carried in and served indoors where the venue allows.
What do you need from the organiser?
Cooking is gas-fired. A supply is useful for lights.
Organising for someone else?
Event organisers frequently ask caterers for paperwork such as a risk assessment. Tell us what you need and we will confirm what we can provide.
Marquee hire companies often have rules about cooking near their tents, so tell them a hog roast is coming. We’ll keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.
Running an event in Bobbing

DIY versus a catered hog roast
A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience, especially outdoors.
