About 43 miles from central London, and well within our area.
Do you come out to small places like Twelve Oaks?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.

Roast pork carved into soft rolls with sage and onion stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. You can add lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options, salads, coleslaw and potatoes.

Popular dates go early. But it’s always worth asking: fill in our quote form.
Do you do DIY hog roast hire?

Christenings and naming days frequently start at a local church such as The Parish Church of St Thomas A Becket, with a hog roast at home or in a hall afterwards.
