Your questions about a hog roast for your event in East Hanney
Do you come out to small places like East Hanney?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
Is East Hanney close to London?
About 57 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
Can you do a school fair?
We do. Check vehicle access with the school.
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.
How far ahead should we book?
The earlier the better for popular dates. But it is always worth asking: fill in our quote form.
When do you start roasting?
A whole hog roasts for several hours, so we arrive well before you want to eat. We plan the timings from when you want to eat.
Do you do fêtes?
We do. Tell us the date, pitch and how food will be paid for.
Will there be enough to go round?
We plan quantities from the numbers you give us, and we’ll confirm everything in writing.
