Common questions in Curdridge
Is Curdridge close to London?
Roughly 64 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
Can you roast near the sea around Curdridge?
Yes. Wind is something we plan for: a sheltered spot and secure cover.
What happens in bad weather?
We cook under a gazebo, so rain is not a problem for the roast. A marquee, hall or barn for eating makes all the difference.
Is clearing up included?
Yes, we clear up after service, so there’s very little washing up.
Does the roaster have to be outside?
It cooks outside, under a gazebo, on a level spot. Serving indoors is usually fine if the venue is happy.
Who serves?
We carve and serve for you, then clear the serving area afterwards.
How much will it be?
Numbers, menu and travel decide the price. Tell us your date and we will send a price.
What happens after service?
We pack everything away after service, and we take our equipment with us.
How it works
We get there well ahead of service, since slow roasting can’t be rushed. Your guests will smell it long before they see it. Evening parties in Curdridge need a little planning: it is light until about 9:20pm in June but only about 7:10pm in late September. A string of lights over the serving table works wonders.

Full catering or machine hire?
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.
We also hire out the hog roast machine for confident cooks. You cook and carve it yourself; we will confirm what comes with it when you ask.
Allergies and dietary needs
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. Here are a few tips:
- Keep the vegetarian option labelled
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if anyone needs them
- Tell us how many vegetarians and vegans to expect
- Halal isn’t offered, so arrange it separately if needed
Warn the neighbours: the roast cooks for hours, and they may ask for a roll.
A string of lights by the carving station looks great as it gets dark.
For planners, venues and organisers
For workplace bookings, ask your facilities team about outside caterers and gas cooking. We’ll fit in with site rules.
If you’re planning an event on someone’s behalf, whether you are a planner, a PA or on a committee, tell us who our contact on the day will be. We’ll keep everyone in the loop.
