Questions from Chavey Down
Do you come out to small places like Chavey Down?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
How far is Chavey Down from London?
About 27 miles from central London, and well within our area.
Can you cook inside a hall or marquee?
The roaster always stays outside, under cover, at a safe distance from walls and tents. We can often serve indoors if the venue agrees.
How far ahead should we book?
The earlier the better for popular dates. But it’s always worth asking: fill in our quote form.
Do you bring plates?
Plates come as standard. If you’d like china, ask and we’ll add it to the quote.
How big a hog will we need?
We size the roast to your numbers, so tell us your best estimate. The quote sets it out.
Do you cook in the kitchen?
Always outside, agreed with the manager.
Can you roast in the rain?
We cook under a gazebo, so rain is not a problem for the roast. Somewhere covered for people to eat helps.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
Not everyone eats pork, so it is worth adding an alternative. A few pointers:
- Modified diets should come from the home’s kitchen
- Count residents who need an alternative
- Plan separately for halal if needed
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten
We set up under cover in the grounds, following the home’s procedures.
Ask about china.
