FAQs for Ascott d'Oyley
Is Ascott d'Oyley close to London?
Roughly 68 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
We are gathering after a service at Church of the Holy Trinity: can you cater?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby with an outdoor spot for the roaster. Churches rarely have space for a hog roast, so the food is usually elsewhere. Send us the address.
Can we hire the machine and cook it ourselves?
We do, if you are happy to roast and carve yourself. Ask and we’ll talk you through it.
Do you serve the food?
We carve and serve for you, then clear the serving area afterwards.
Can you cook a hog roast in a small garden?
Access and clearance matter more than size. Describe the space and we’ll tell you honestly.
How do you work out quantities?
We plan quantities from the numbers you give us, and we will talk it through when we quote.
How much will it be?
Each event is priced on its own, based on numbers, menu, service time and distance. Ask us for a quote.
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.
What the cooking area needs
The cooking area is the main thing to plan. A quick checklist:
- Any venue rules sorted in advance
- Flat outdoor ground for the roaster and a gazebo
- A sheltered place for people to eat if it rains
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before you book.
