Frequently Asked Questions
How long does it take to cook a Hog Roast?
A Hog Roast takes approximately
6-12 hours to cook perfectly depending on the size of the pig and the number of guests we are catering for
Do you cook inside?
No, the hog roaster uses propane gas, so we prefer to cook outside or in our own gazebo, but the roaster can be moved inside to carve if the venue is suitable
The roaster needs access of approx 75cm (30 inches), which is normally the width of a standard door
If there are steps to negotiate we would ask for assistance
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
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
What staff do you provide?
We always supply a dedicated Chef (dressed in full whites) and an assistant to help serve.
How many 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
How long do you serve for?
Usually we serve for up to 2 hours depending on the number of guests.
Rest assured we will only leave when everyone has been fed and you are totally satisfied with our service
Will there be enough meat to go around?
YES! 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
What about leftovers?
Any un-served meat can be carved off and left for you if you so wish, or we can take it away so you don't have to be left with the clearing away
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)
Do you provide a site visit prior to my function?
