Questions from Elvetham Heath

How far is Elvetham Heath from London?
Roughly 36 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
Is the meat halal?
No, we do not offer halal meat. Our meat-free options are there, or halal food would need to be arranged separately.

Our chef cooks everything thoroughly, with raw and cooked food kept apart, following Food Standards Agency advice.

How soon do you get booked up?
Popular dates go early. But it is always worth asking: send us your details through our quote form.

Most events choose three or four meats, plus the meat-free options. Fewer items keeps service quick.
