Common questions in Heron Quays
What if our house in Heron Quays has no side access?
It depends on access: a rear gate or yard normally works. Send us a photo and we will tell you honestly.
Could you cook in Sir John McDougall Gardens?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, generally the council, and many parks do not allow cooking. Ask them first.
Do you provide allergen information?
You’ll get allergen details for everything. Stuffing normally contains gluten, and gluten-free rolls are available.
Who serves?
No need for your own staff: we carve, serve and tidy up.
How soon do you get booked up?
The earlier the better for popular dates. But it is always worth asking: fill in our quote form.
Is mains power needed?
Not to cook, because the roaster is gas-fired. Tell us what’s available and we will plan around it.
Can the hog roast be cooked indoors?
The roaster always stays outside, under cover, at a safe distance from walls and tents. Serving inside is frequently possible, with the venue’s agreement.
Do residents have to eat rolls?
Plates with thin slices are easy to arrange.
What we serve, dish by dish
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Salads, new potatoes, coleslaw and roast or jacket potatoes turn rolls into a full meal, especially at a sit-down event.
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Not everyone eats meat, so halloumi and vegetable skewers ensure they’re not left with just salad.
A hog roast or other catering?
For residents who need modified textures, your kitchen looks after those portions. Cost depends on numbers, menu choices and service time, along with distance and how easy the site is. There’s no one-size price, which is why each one gets its own quote.
Why Heron Quays hosts choose us
- Slow-roasted at your venue, not reheated
- Salads, potatoes and coleslaw to go with it
- Lamb, chicken and vegetarian options alongside
- Planned to your running order
