Common questions in Wanborough
Is Wanborough too small for a hog roast?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
Do you trade at school fairs around Wanborough?
Yes, if the school is happy for a hog roast on site. Send us the date and where the roaster would go.
Do you do DIY hog roast hire?
DIY machine hire is available. We will explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
How soon do you get booked up?
Summer Saturdays and December book up first. Quieter dates can frequently be booked at shorter notice. Ask and we’ll check.
Can you come to a PTA fair?
Yes, if the school agrees. Tell us the date and pitch.
Do you need power or water?
The roaster runs on gas, so we don’t need mains power to cook. Power can help with lighting after dark.
What’s the price?
Each event is priced on its own, based on numbers, menu, service time and distance. Tell us about your event for a quote.
Do you serve the food?
Our chef carves and our staff serve, then clear the serving area afterwards.
DIY versus a catered hog roast
Catered or DIY? With catering, our chef roasts, carves and serves, and our staff clear up. With DIY hire, you do the work and save on staffing.
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.
