Woking: your questions answered
How far is Woking from London?
Roughly 24 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
Could you cook in Hoe Valley Linear Park?
Only if the landowner, normally the council, allows it. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
Can you fit around mealtimes?
Choose the time, and we will plan the roast around it.
Can families and staff join in?
Families and staff are welcome.
Do you offer gluten-free rolls?
We can supply gluten-free rolls on request. We’ll give you full allergen information for every dish.
Do we need to provide electricity?
Not to cook, because the roaster is gas-fired. Tell us what’s available and we’ll plan around it.
What space does the roaster need?
A flat, open spot outside, plus a step-free route to wheel the equipment in. A picture helps.
Will there be enough to go round?
The roast is chosen to suit how many you’re feeding, so tell us your best estimate. The quote sets it out.
Why choose a hog roast in Woking?
Compared with a barbecue run by staff, your staff can focus on residents. Extras such as lamb, chicken, more sides or china crockery add to the cost, so we list each one in the quote. Keeping it simple keeps it affordable.
