Common questions in Wrotham Heath
How far is Wrotham Heath from London?
About 24 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
Can you do a hog roast in Trosley Country Park?
Only if the landowner, normally the council, allows it. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
Can you do soft food?
Modified textures are best done by the home; your team prepares those portions.
When do you start roasting?
A whole hog roasts for several hours, so we arrive well before you want to eat. We plan the timings from when you want to eat.
What happens in bad weather?
We cook under a gazebo, so rain isn’t a problem for the roast. A marquee, hall or barn for eating makes all the difference.
What allergens are in the food?
Allergen details are provided for your team to check.
Can you serve at lunch?
Tell us the time that suits residents, and we’ll be ready.
Will there be enough to go round?
We size the roast to your numbers, so tell us your best estimate. The quote sets it out.

Many venues set rules for outside caterers, including where gas cooking is allowed. Check early, and pass on anything they need from us.
If the event is on someone else’s land, you’ll need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
