Common questions in Nashes Green
Is Nashes Green close to London?
About 46 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
Do you come out to small places like Nashes Green?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
Can you cook inside the marquee?
Outside, under its own cover, a safe distance from the marquee. We can serve inside the marquee if the supplier agrees.
Do you clear up?
Our staff clear the serving area, so you’re not left with the mess.
Where does the hog roast go?
Roughly the footprint of a gazebo or two, on level ground, well clear of walls, tents and branches. We’ll check it with you before booking.
Do you need power or water?
Cooking is gas-fired, so no mains power is needed for the roast. Power can help with lighting after dark.
Do we need extra food?
Quantities are based on your guest list, and we’ll confirm it in writing.
How big a hog will we need?
Quantities are based on your numbers, and we’ll talk it through when we quote.
Step by step
Your timings come first. If things run late, we can hold the cooked roast for a while before carving, so tell us as soon as plans change. At a December wedding in Nashes Green, it’s dark by about 4:00pm, so the route from the reception to the hog roast needs lighting, while a June wedding has light until about 9:25pm.
- Send us the date, venue and guest numbers.
- We confirm the date and the venue and send a price.
- We agree timings with your venue coordinator.
- We roast during the day, then carve at the agreed time.
- We serve, tidy up and slip away.
