Hedgerley Green questions
How far is Hedgerley Green from London?
Roughly 22 miles from the centre of London.
Could you cook in Bulstrode Park?
Only if the landowner, typically the council, allows it. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
Do residents have to eat rolls?
Plates with thin slices are easy to arrange.
What do people get?
Rolls with roast pork, stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. You can add lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options, salads, coleslaw and potatoes.
Can you cook inside a hall or marquee?
Outside, always. Serving indoors is typically fine if the venue is happy.
Is mains power needed?
Not to cook, because the roaster is gas-fired. Tell us what’s available and we will plan around it.
How long does a hog roast take to cook?
Several hours, depending on the size and the weather, which is why we arrive hours ahead. We plan the timings from when you want to eat.
What about texture-modified diets?
Modified meals should come from your kitchen. We will give your team the information they need.
