Stonymarsh: your questions answered
Do you come out to small places like Stonymarsh?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Is Stonymarsh close to London?
Roughly 69 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
Do you need power or water?
The roaster runs on gas, so we do not need mains power to cook. Power can help with lighting after dark.
Do we need our own staff?
You don’t need anyone else: our chef carves and our team serves and clears.
Can we just hire the roaster?
Yes, we hire out the hog roast machine. We will confirm what comes with it and how to use it.
Is there a non-pork option?
There are lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options: spit-roast lamb, rotisserie chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers or a vegan burger or sausage. Please note we do not offer halal meat.
Do you bring plates?
Plates come as standard. China crockery is available on request and quoted separately.
How long does a hog roast take to cook?
Hours rather than minutes. You’ll know our arrival time in advance.
Prices and what affects them
We don’t use a fixed price list, because every care home event is different. What matters most:
- Time on site
- How easy it is to reach the spot
- Which meats and sides you choose
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
Weekday and off-season dates can be easier to book, and the menu you choose makes a difference too. Tell us your budget and we’ll suggest what works.

- The address or postcode
