What’s the nearest station to Blindley Heath?
The closest is Godstone station, roughly 1.5 miles away.
How do you work out quantities?
We size the roast to your numbers, so tell us your best estimate. We will confirm the menu in the quote.
Where does the hog roast go?
A level, open area outdoors with room for the roaster, a gazebo and a carving table, well clear of walls, tents and branches. We’ll check it with you before booking.
Can you cater in Blindley Heath?

Can you serve at lunch?
We fit around the home’s routine, lunch or an afternoon event.
Is mains power needed?
No, the roast is cooked on gas. Tell us what’s available and we will plan around it.
How long does the roast need?
Hours rather than minutes. We will confirm our arrival time when we quote.
How it works
Carving is part of the show: our chef carves the pork in front of the queue, and the crackling is shared out so everyone gets some. In Blindley Heath, December daylight ends around 3:55pm, so winter hog roast days are best kept to lunchtime.

- We send a quote.
- We cook in the grounds.
- Food goes out on plates.
- We leave the grounds tidy.
Getting ready for the day

Prices and what affects them
We work out each quote from:
- The serving time and how long we are on site
- Season and day of the week
- How easy it is to reach the spot
- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
Adding lamb, chicken, extra sides or china changes the price, so each one is itemised. Keeping it simple keeps it affordable.
Details that help
To check availability and the cooking area, tell us:
- Dietary requirements
- The date and time of the event
- Your menu choices
