Full catering or machine hire?

We also hire out the hog roast machine for confident cooks. You do the roasting and carving; we’ll explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
Common questions in Northwood
What about windy coastal sites?
Yes, of course. Wind is something we plan for: a sheltered spot and secure cover.
Is Northwood close to London?
Roughly 65 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
What if things run late?
Because the roast takes hours, we plan from your serving time, and we can hold the roast for a while if the day runs behind.
Can the hog roast be cooked indoors?
The roaster always stays outside, under cover, away from buildings and marquee walls. We can often serve indoors if the venue agrees.
How much will it be?
It depends on numbers, the menu and how long we’re on site. Tell us your date and we will send a price.
Do you bring plates?
We bring plates as standard. If you’d like china, ask and we will add it to the quote.
Do you serve the food?
We carve and serve for you, and we clear up when service is finished.
How long does a hog roast take to cook?
Hours rather than minutes. You will know our arrival time in advance.
