Blacknest: your questions answered
Do you come out to small places like Blacknest?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
Could you cook in Silwood Park?
Only if the landowner, usually the council, allows it. Ask them first.
Do we need to provide electricity?
Not to cook, because the roaster is gas-fired. Tell us what’s available and we’ll plan around it.
Where does the hog roast go?
Roughly the footprint of a gazebo or two, on level ground, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging trees. We’ll confirm the space with your quote.
When do you start roasting?
Hours rather than minutes. You’ll know our arrival time in advance.
Do you cook in the kitchen?
Outdoors under cover, on a level spot clear of emergency access and away from opening windows.
Do you bring plates?
We bring plates as standard. If you’d like china, ask and we will add it to the quote.
What happens after service?
Our staff clear the serving area, so you are not left with the mess.
