Your questions about a hog roast for your Christmas party in Coldharbour
Could you cook in Wotton and Abinger Commons?
Only if the landowner, usually the council, allows it. Check with them first.
Do you cater at venues in the Surrey Hills National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about cooking and vehicles, so check with yours. We’ll work to whatever the site needs.
Do you clear up?
We clear the serving area and pack away, leaving the spot as we found it.
Do you serve the food?
You don’t need anyone else: our chef carves and our team serves and clears.
Can you trade at our Christmas fair?
We do Christmas fairs and lights switch-ons. Tell us the pitch and how food will be paid for.
Can you cater for vegetarians?
We can add lamb or chicken, plus halloumi skewers for vegetarians and a vegan burger or sausage. Halal meat is not something we offer.
What’s included?
The classic: pork in rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. Your quote lists any sides and extras.
What if it rains?
The roaster is under cover, so a shower does not stop us. Plan somewhere sheltered for eating.
