Your questions about a hog roast for your Christmas party in Hartley Mauditt
Is Hartley Mauditt close to London?
About 45 miles from central London, and well within our area.
Do you come out to small places like Hartley Mauditt?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Does the roaster have to be outside?
No, the roast is always cooked outdoors under cover, away from buildings and marquee walls. Serving inside is often possible, with the venue’s agreement.
Can the food be served indoors?
The roaster stays outside under cover; guests can eat inside.
Can you do gluten-free?
Gluten-free rolls are available on request. Ask for the allergen list, as stuffing normally contains gluten.

A clear, level cooking spot, a route to wheel the equipment in and a contact for the day. We bring everything else.
Can you be flexible on serving time?
Within reason, we can. Keep us posted on the day and we will adjust.
Is mains power needed?
No, the roast is cooked on gas. Tell us what’s available and we’ll plan around it.
