Common questions in Horns Green
Do you come out to small places like Horns Green?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
How far is Horns Green from London?
About 15 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
How long does the roast need?
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’s the price?
Each event is priced on its own, depending on numbers, menu, timings and travel. Tell us about your Christmas party for a quote.
How far ahead should we book?
The earlier the better for popular dates. But it’s always worth asking: fill in our quote form.
Is mains power needed?
Cooking is gas-fired, so no mains power is needed for the roast. A socket nearby is useful for lighting.
Is turkey available?
Yes, roast turkey is available for Christmas events, alongside the pork.
What should we sort out beforehand?
Only the space and a contact number. Everything for roasting and serving comes with us.
Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Next to a plated turkey lunch, a hog roast with turkey is relaxed and easier to serve. Numbers make the biggest difference: bigger groups generally cost less per head, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.
What you get with us
- Our staff serve and clear
- Choices for people who do not eat pork
