Haslingbourne questions
How far is Haslingbourne from London?
Roughly 42 miles from the centre of London.
Is Haslingbourne too small for a hog roast?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
How much will it be?
Every booking is quoted individually, depending on numbers, menu, timings and travel. Tell us about your care home event for a quote.
What about texture-modified diets?
Modified textures are best done by the home; we will work alongside your kitchen.
Can you work around our timings?
We will be as flexible as we can. Keep us posted on the day and we’ll fit around changes.
What about residents who do not eat pork?
We can add lamb or chicken, plus halloumi skewers for vegetarians and a vegan burger or sausage. Halal meat isn’t something we offer.
Can you serve at lunch?
Tell us the time that suits residents, and we will be ready.
What if it rains?
We cook under a gazebo, so rain isn’t a problem for the roast. A marquee, hall or barn for eating makes all the difference.

For planners, venues and organisers

Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so it is worth asking first. We’ll liaise with them on access and set-up.
