Full catering or machine hire?

Questions from Colliers Green
Is Colliers Green close to London?
Roughly 37 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
Which station is closest to Colliers Green?

How do you work out quantities?
The roast is chosen to suit how many you’re feeding, so a good estimate matters. We will confirm the menu in the quote.
What space does the roaster need?
A level, open area outdoors with room for the roaster, a gazebo and a carving table, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging trees. We’ll check it with you before booking.
Who serves?
You don’t need anyone else: we carve, serve and tidy up.
What about guests who don’t eat pork?

Can the food be served indoors?
Cooking is always outdoors; serving can be indoors.
Is crockery included?
Plates are included. You can upgrade to china if you prefer.
What happens on the day
The secret is time: hours of gentle heat make the pork soft and juicy while the skin crisps into crackling. It rests for a short while before carving. By about 3:55pm in late December, Colliers Green is dark. Evening Christmas parties need a well-lit carving station, and a lit path from the door.
