Questions from Newnham Murren
Could you cook in Kinecroft?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, normally the council, and many parks do not allow cooking. Check with them first.
Can you do a hog roast at a venue in the Chilterns National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about cooking and vehicles, so check with yours. We will work to whatever the site needs.
Does the roaster have to be outside?
No, the roast is always cooked outdoors under cover, at a safe distance from walls and tents. Serving inside is frequently possible, with the venue’s agreement.
How far ahead should we book?
The earlier the better for popular dates. But it’s always worth asking: send us your details through our quote form.
Can you cater for vegetarians?
Add lamb, chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers or a vegan option. We do not offer halal meat.
Do you serve the food?
We carve and serve for you, then clear the serving area afterwards.
How much room do you need?
A flat, open spot outside, and a way to wheel everything in. A picture helps.
How big a hog will we need?
We size the roast to your numbers, so tell us your best estimate. We will confirm the menu in the quote.
