Questions from Wickham Heath
Is Wickham Heath close to London?
About 56 miles from central London.
Which station is closest to Wickham Heath?
The closest is Kintbury station, roughly 2.7 miles away.
Is crockery included?
Plates are included. China is available at an extra cost.
When do you start roasting?
Several hours, depending on the size and the weather, which is why we arrive hours ahead. We work back from your serving time.
Do we need a marquee for a party hog roast?
We cover the cooking area, but plan somewhere dry for guests.
What about the neighbours?
A friendly word helps: roasting takes hours. Some hosts invite them over for a roll.
Will a hog roast fit in our garden?
Frequently, yes, if there’s a level spot away from the house and trees, and a way to wheel the equipment through. Send us a picture.
Do you do DIY hire for parties?
If you’re happy to roast and carve, yes. Most people prefer us to cook so they can enjoy the party.
A hog roast or other catering?
Compared with cooking for everyone yourself, you get to enjoy the party. A hog roast is frequently good value for a crowd, because one whole roast feeds plenty of people. Extras, china and longer service add to it.
Why book with us
- Timed around your day
- Self-contained: roaster, cover and serving kit
- Cooked on the day, low and slow
- Sides to make it a full meal
Read our prices page or the cost guide.
Should I cook it myself?
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.
If you’re confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You do the roasting and carving; we’ll explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
Allergies and dietary needs
Rolls and stuffing normally contain gluten, and gluten-free rolls are available on request. Other tips:
- Plan separately for anyone who needs halal food
- Ask us to label vegetarian and vegan food
- Add a dietary question to the invite
- Check the allergen list, as stuffing normally contains gluten
Have a word with the neighbours first: the roast cooks for hours, and they may ask for a roll.
Gluten-free rolls are available on request.
