Questions from Furze Platt
What’s the nearest station to Furze Platt?
Furze Platt station, in Furze Platt itself.
Could you cook in Braywick Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, typically the council, and many parks don’t allow cooking. Check with them first.
Is hog roast hire catered or DIY?
Both are available: fully catered, where we roast, carve and serve, or DIY machine hire. Most people choose catering.
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 much will it be?
It depends on numbers, the menu and how long we’re on site. Send us the details and we will quote.
How much room do you need?
A flat, open spot outside, plus a step-free route to wheel the equipment in. A picture helps.
Can you cater for vegetarians?
Add lamb, chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers or a vegan option. We don’t offer halal meat.
Do you cover Furze Platt?
Yes. We cover London and the South East, including Furze Platt and Windsor and Maidenhead. Tell us the venue and we will quote.
Working with your venue
Some venues add a fee for outside caterers, so it is worth asking first. We will work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.
Planning on behalf of a committee? A single point of contact keeps things simple, especially on the day.
Full catering or machine hire?
A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.
Step by step
We roast under cover, so a shower will not spoil the food. Your guests will still want somewhere dry to eat, such as a marquee, hall or barn. Around midsummer it stays light in Furze Platt until about 9:25pm; by late September sunset is nearer 7:05pm, so summer evening service is normally in daylight. In December it is dark by about 3:55pm, so the cooking and serving area needs lighting.
- First, tell us about your event.
- We check the date and the cooking spot, then send a quote.
- Timings and the cooking area are agreed in advance.
- On the day we roast for hours, then carve to order.
- Our staff serve and clear, then we pack away.
How to prepare
- Ask about allergies and dietary needs beforehand
- Let us know about tight access
- Have a covered area for eating in case of rain
