Common questions in Thorney
Is Thorney close to London?
About 17 miles from central London, and well within our area.
Can you come to a school fair in Thorney?
Yes, if the school is happy for a hog roast on site. Tell us the date and pitch details.
Do you cover Thorney?
Yes. We cover London and the South East, including Thorney and Buckinghamshire. Tell us the venue and we will quote.

Who serves?
You do not need anyone else: we carve, serve and tidy up.
How far ahead should we book?
The earlier the better for popular dates. But do ask even at short notice: send us your details through our quote form.

For workplace bookings, check with facilities about gas equipment and vehicle access. We work to the site’s rules.
