Questions from Bowlhead Green
Is Bowlhead Green close to London?
Roughly 36 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
Can you do a hog roast at a venue in the Surrey Hills National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for caterers; ask your venue. We’ll work to whatever the site needs.
What if things run late?
We will be as flexible as we can. Keep us posted on the day and we will fit around changes.
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 will confirm the space with your quote.
Can you fit around mealtimes?
We fit around the home’s routine, lunch or an afternoon event.
How far ahead should we book?
Summer Saturdays and December book up first. Quieter dates can frequently be booked at shorter notice. Send your date and we will check.
Do you cover Bowlhead Green?
We do. Send us the address and we’ll check the date.
Can you do gluten-free?
Gluten-free rolls are available on request. Ask for the allergen list, as stuffing normally contains gluten.
What a hog roast costs
We work out each quote from:
- Which meats and sides you choose
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
- Plates or china
- The number of people
Adding lamb, chicken, extra sides or china changes the price, so we list each one in the quote. A simple menu keeps the cost down.
Details that help
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what’s useful:
- The date and time of the event
- Rough numbers
- Where the event is
- A photo of the cooking area
Numbers not final yet? Give us your best estimate and we’ll quote on that, and you can confirm nearer the time. Use our quote form.
What the cooking area needs
The right spot for the roaster makes everything easier. Ideally:
- A dining room, lounge or shaded garden
- Clear of ambulance and delivery access
- Away from windows that open and residents’ rooms
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before booking.
