Common questions in Stick Hill
Is Stick Hill close to London?
Roughly 24 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
Is Stick Hill too small for a hog roast?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
What space does the roaster need?
Roughly the footprint of a gazebo or two, on level ground, well clear of walls, tents and branches. We’ll check it with you before booking.
How long does a hog roast take to cook?
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.
Can you serve on plates?
Plates are often easier for residents.
Can you cater in Stick Hill?
Yes. We cover London and the South East, Stick Hill and the rest of Kent included. Send us the address for a quote.
Do you provide china?
Plates are included. China is available at an extra cost.
What if it rains?
We roast under cover, so the food is not affected. Your residents will want somewhere dry to eat.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
Tell us about dietary needs early and we will help. Some ideas:
- Modified diets should come from the home’s kitchen
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten
- Request gluten-free rolls
- Include staff and visitors in your numbers
Afterwards we tidy up calmly.
Plates rather than rolls suit many residents.
Working with your venue
For events on land you don’t own, such as a park or field, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
For workplace bookings, check with facilities about gas equipment and vehicle access. We work to the site’s rules.
What a hog roast costs
Every booking is priced individually, based on a few main things:
- Distance from us
- Whether you want china
- Site access
- Which meats and sides you choose
A hog roast is often good value for a crowd, because one whole roast feeds a lot of people. Extras, china and longer service add to it.
