- How easy it is to reach the spot

Kingsley Green: your questions answered
Do you come out to small places like Kingsley Green?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
Do you cater at venues in the Surrey Hills National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for caterers; ask your venue. We’ll follow the site rules.
How far ahead should we book?
Summer Saturdays and December book up first. Quieter dates can often be booked at shorter notice. Send your date and we will check.
Can you fit around mealtimes?
Tell us the time that suits residents, and we will plan the roast around it.
How long does the roast need?
A whole hog roasts for several hours, so we arrive well before you want to eat. We work back from your serving time.
Can you roast in the rain?
We roast under cover, so the food isn’t affected. Plan somewhere sheltered for eating.
Can the hog roast be cooked indoors?
It cooks outside, under a gazebo, on a level spot. The food can be carried in and served indoors where the venue allows.
Do you leave the area tidy?
Our staff clear the serving area, so you’re not left with the mess.
Is a hog roast right for your care home event?
Instead of organising a trip, a hog roast at the home is easier for residents with mobility needs. Travel matters for the price: we include travel in the quote. Tell us the exact address so the quote is accurate.
