Common questions in Potter's Green
Can you do a hog roast at a venue in the High Weald National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for caterers; ask your venue. We’ll work to whatever the site needs.
Do you come out to small places like Potter's Green?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
Can the hog roast be cooked indoors?
The roaster always stays outside, under cover, at a safe distance from walls and tents. We can often serve indoors if the venue agrees.
How do you work out quantities?
Quantities are based on your numbers, and we will confirm everything in writing.
Can you do soft food?
Texture-modified meals should be prepared by the home’s kitchen to each resident’s plan. We’ll share allergen and menu details.
Do residents have to eat rolls?
We will serve however suits your residents.
When do you start roasting?
Several hours, depending on the size and the weather, so we arrive well before you want to eat. We plan the timings from when you want to eat.
