Questions from Westenhanger

Full catering or machine hire? With catering, our chef roasts, carves and serves, and our staff clear up. With hire only, you do the cooking yourself.
Planners, venues and businesses
For events on land you don’t own, such as a park or field, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
If you are organising for someone else, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, let us know who we will deal with on the day. We will keep you both updated.
Step by step
Your timings come first. If things run late, we can hold the cooked roast for a while before carving, so tell us as soon as plans change. Christmas fairs and lights switch-ons in Westenhanger are dark by about 3:50pm, so plan lights for the stall and the queue.
- You tell us the event, the pitch and the expected crowd.
- You get a check on the date and pitch, and a quote.
- On the day we set up under cover and get the hog on.
- We carve rolls to order as the queue moves.
- We pack down, take our waste and leave the pitch clean.
Preparing for the day
- Make sure we can wheel the roaster to the spot
- Measure the narrowest gate or passage
- Ask about allergies and dietary needs beforehand
