Step by step
Service is quick once we start carving: the chef carves and the team serves, with the sides served alongside. When everyone has eaten, we clear up and leave the spot tidy. Sunset in Hankham is about 8:50pm in late May and 9:15pm in late June, so an early-evening carve is usually in daylight. Winter parties, dark by about 3:55pm, need lights by the roaster.

Hankham questions
How far is Hankham from London?
About 50 miles from central London, and well within our area.
Do you come out to small places like Hankham?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
Will there be enough to go round?
We size the roast to your numbers, so tell us your best estimate. We’ll confirm the menu in the quote.
What if it rains?
The roaster is under cover, so a shower doesn’t stop us. Plan somewhere sheltered for eating.
Can you do a hog roast in our back garden?
Describe the space and the way in, and we will tell you if it works.
Does the roaster have to be outside?
The roaster always stays outside, under cover, at a safe distance from walls and tents. Serving inside is often possible, with the venue’s agreement.
Can we just hire the roaster?
Yes, for confident cooks. Ask and we’ll talk you through it.
Do we need to wash up?
We tidy the serving area, so there’s very little washing up.
