Questions from Hearnden Green
Is Hearnden Green close to London?
About 37 miles from central London, and well within our area.
What’s the nearest station to Hearnden Green?
The closest is Headcorn station, roughly 1.8 miles away.
What do you need from the venue?
The main thing is an outdoor cooking spot we can reach. Tell us what’s available on site and we will confirm the rest when we quote.
Do you leave the area tidy?
We pack everything away after service, and we take our equipment with us.
Is clearing up included?
Yes, we clear up after service. Ask if you’d like china.
Is the meat halal?
We do not. Please arrange halal food separately if anyone needs it.
Can it be a sit-down meal?
Of course. A barbecue works as a plated meal with sides; ask about china if you’d like it.
What do children normally eat?
Yes, generally: burgers and sausages in a roll are easy for small hands. Give us a rough number of children.
A barbecue or other catering?
Compared with a hog roast, a barbecue offers more variety, with beef, chicken and pork rather than one main meat. A hog roast is the bigger spectacle, so some events have both. Distance is part of the price: we include travel in the quote, with any London charges listed. Tell us the exact address so the quote is accurate.
