Questions from Slaugham
Is Slaugham close to London?
About 32 miles from central London, and well within our area.
Do you come out to small places like Slaugham?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Can you do soft food?
Modified textures are best done by the home; we will work alongside your kitchen.
How far ahead should we book?
Summer Saturdays and December book up first. For other dates, a few weeks can be enough. Ask and we’ll check.
Can you work around our timings?
We work back from when you want to eat, and a cooked roast can be held for a while if things run late.
What do people get?
Roast pork carved into soft rolls with sage and onion stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. Extras include lamb, chicken, halloumi skewers, a vegan option, salads and potatoes.
Is crockery included?
We bring plates as standard. China crockery is available on request and quoted separately.
Do you serve the food?
We carve and serve for you, then clear the serving area afterwards.
About the food
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Halloumi and vegetable skewers are the vegetarian choice: grilled halloumi with vegetables.
Rotisserie chicken
Rotisserie chicken is there for anyone who’d rather not have pork, and it suits fussy eaters.
Planning for dietary needs
Not everyone eats pork, so it is worth adding an alternative. Helpful tips:
- Count residents who need an alternative
- Request thin slices
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten
- Include staff and visitors in your numbers
Your team helps residents as needed, while we serve.
China crockery is available on request, quoted separately.
A hog roast or other catering?
Compared with a normal lunch from the kitchen, a hog roast brings the event to residents. Published UK guides give a wide range for hog roast catering, from around £10 a head for a basic roll to £20 or more with sides and service. We quote every event individually, with everything listed.
Why Slaugham hosts choose us
- Self-contained: roaster, cover and serving kit
- Roasted on site, slowly, for hours
- An itemised quote
- Timed around your day
See our prices page or the cost guide.
For planners, venues and organisers
Some venues add a fee for outside caterers, so it is worth asking first. We’ll work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.
For events on land you don’t own, such as a park or field, you’ll need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
Prices and what affects them
The price comes down to:
- Access to the cooking area
- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
- How many people are eating
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
Distance is part of the price: travel is included in your quote, with any London charges listed. Tell us the exact address so the quote is accurate.
Getting an accurate quote
These are the details we need:
- Any extras, such as lamb, chicken or china
- The venue or postcode
- What the outdoor space is like
- Any dietary needs or allergies
Every care home event is quoted on its own, because numbers, menu, serving time and travel vary. Ask us for a quote for your care home event: fill in our quote form.
