Your questions about a hog roast day in Albourne Green
Do you cater at venues in the South Downs National Park?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about cooking and vehicles, so check with yours. We’ll follow the site rules.
Is Albourne Green close to London?
Roughly 39 miles from the centre of London.
Does the roaster have to be outside?
The roaster always stays outside, under cover, at a safe distance from walls and tents. We can often serve indoors if the venue agrees.
Do residents have to eat rolls?
Plates are often easier for residents.
Can you serve at lunch?
Serving time is up to you, lunch or an afternoon event.
How soon do you get booked up?
The earlier the better for popular dates. But it’s always worth asking: fill in our quote form.
What’s the price?
Each event is priced on its own, based on numbers, menu, service time and distance. Ask us for a quote.
What allergens are in the food?
You’ll get allergen details for everything. Stuffing usually contains gluten, and gluten-free rolls are available.
A hog roast or other catering?
Compared with a buffet, a plated hot meal suits residents better. Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. A long, slow roast means an early start, which is built into the price.
Why Albourne Green hosts choose us
- Lamb, chicken and vegetarian options alongside
- Carved to order by a chef
- Salads, potatoes and coleslaw to go with it
