Common questions in Cramhurst
Which station is closest to Cramhurst?
Milford (Surrey) station, about 0.8 miles east of the centre.
How far is Cramhurst from London?
Roughly 34 miles from the centre of London.
Can you do gluten-free?
We can provide gluten-free rolls if you ask. Ask for the allergen list, as stuffing normally contains gluten.
Can the hog roast be cooked indoors?
The roaster always stays outside, under cover, away from buildings and marquee walls. We can often serve indoors if the venue agrees.
What space does the roaster need?
Enough level ground outdoors for the roaster and a serving table under cover, plus a step-free route to wheel the equipment in. Send us a photo if you are unsure.
Where do you cook at a care home?
Outdoors under cover, on a level spot clear of emergency access.
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.
Do you provide allergen information?
Every dish comes with allergen information.

- We check the grounds and send a price.
- We set up under cover and get the roast going.
- We carve and serve where you choose: dining room, lounge or garden.
