Yes, if the school is happy for a hog roast on site. Tell us the date and pitch details.
Is Princes Risborough close to London?
About 35 miles from central London, and well within our area.
Is mains power needed?
Not to cook, because the roaster is gas-fired. Tell us what’s available and we will plan around it.

A clear, level cooking spot, a route to wheel the equipment in and a contact for the day. We bring everything else.
Can you come to a PTA fair?
Yes, if the school agrees. Tell us the date and pitch.
What paperwork do you provide?

How big a hog will we need?
Quantities are based on your numbers, and we will talk it through when we quote.
Do we need our own staff?
We carve and serve for you, then clear the serving area afterwards.
Full catering or machine hire?
Full catering or machine hire? Catered means we do everything: roasting, carving, serving and clearing. With hire only, you do the cooking yourself.
