What is the estimated cooking time for a Hog Roast?

A Hog Roast takes approximately 6-7 hours depending on the size of numbers we are catering for. A whole lamb cooks to perfection in 3-4 hours approximately. 40 chickens takes around 2½ hours

What is the width of your roasting machine, just to make sure we have good access?

Our machine is designed to fit through a standard doorway or garden gate

Will there be enough meat to go around?

Always. We always bring a larger hog than is needed and we also bring extra buns too, so if some of your guests want to come back for seconds – no problem

Do you provide a site visit prior to my function?

Where at all possible yes! This enables us to meet you personally and ensures that on the day you enjoy your party or function. Just leave the rest to us!

Do you have any provisions for wet weather?

YES, we will bring our own 3×3 metre gazebo to cover ourselves against any unwanted weather…

What staff do you provide?

We always supply a fully qualified Chef (dressed in full whites) and an assistant to serve

What about leftovers?

Any un-served meat can be carved off and left for you if you so wish

How does payment work?

We require a 50% deposit to confirm the booking

We will contact you at least 14 days prior to your function to discuss final numbers and precise timings and at this point the final payment then becomes due

Do you need access to electrical power?

YES. Can you please provide us with an electrical power point. Just the basic household one is fine. We will bring an extension lead so distance is not a problem

How may guests can you cater for?

The answer is as many as you would like. Typically we cater for between 50 and 300 guests dependent on whether it is a small garden party or a larger corporate event. We have however catered for up to 1500 people previously using all 6 of our machines

What about Health & Safety issues and Public Liability Insurance?

All our staff have the appropriate Food Hygiene Certificates and our company has the necessary product and public liability insurances in place. (Copies are available upon request)

Finally – Are references available?

Absolutely – Don’t be afraid to ask! Copies of thank you letters and clients you can contact are readily available

How long do you serve for?

As long is as necessary, we only leave when you have finished with us. This very much depends on the type of function, but rest assured we will only leave when everyone has been fed and is totally satisfied

How far do you travel?

Normally within a 30 mile radius of our base, but we are really flexible and do please ask – we are here to provide you with a very professional and helpful service
