Bletchingley questions
Can you do a hog roast in Kitchen Copse?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, typically the council, and many parks don’t allow cooking. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
Is Bletchingley close to London?
About 18 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
What’s included?
Roast pork carved into soft rolls with sage and onion stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. Extras include lamb, chicken, halloumi skewers, a vegan option, salads and potatoes.
Can relatives eat with residents?
Many homes make it a family day.
Is crockery included?
We supply plates as standard. You can upgrade to china if you prefer.
Where will the roaster go?
In the garden or car park, in a spot you approve.
How long does the roast need?
A whole hog roasts for several hours, so we arrive well before you want to eat. We plan the timings from when you want to eat.
Does the roaster have to be outside?
Outside, always. Serving indoors is generally fine if the venue is happy.
Planning for dietary needs
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. Here are a few tips:
- Ask the kitchen to prepare texture-modified portions
- Plan separately for halal if needed
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten
Afterwards we tidy up calmly.
China crockery is available on request, quoted separately.
Planning the cooking spot
A hog roast cooks outdoors for hours, so the spot matters, so a few things are worth checking:
- A spot that keeps access clear
- An activities lead or manager as contact
- The manager’s agreement to a gas-fired roaster
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise.
