Your questions about a hog roast day in Bucks Green
Is Bucks Green too small for a hog roast?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
Can you do a hog roast at a venue in the Surrey Hills National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about cooking and vehicles, so check with yours. We’ll follow the site rules.
When do you start roasting?
Hours rather than minutes. You will know our arrival time in advance.
Can you work around our timings?
Because the roast takes hours, we plan from your serving time, and we can hold the roast for a while if the day runs behind.
Can you serve at lunch?
Serving time is up to you, whether lunch or later.
Can we just hire the roaster?
Yes, for confident cooks. We will explain the details with your quote.
Do you clear up?
We clear the serving area and pack away, and leave the area tidy.
Is there a non-pork option?
The menu has lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options. We don’t provide halal meat.
