Questions from Watchmoor
Could you cook in Tekels Park?
Only if the landowner, typically the council, allows it. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
Which station is closest to Watchmoor?
The closest is Blackwater station, roughly 0.8 miles away.
Can you roast in the rain?
The roaster is under cover, so a shower doesn’t stop us. Plan somewhere sheltered for eating.
Do you cover Watchmoor?
Yes. We cover London and the South East, including Watchmoor and Surrey. Send us the address for a quote.
How do you work out quantities?
We plan quantities from the numbers you give us, and we’ll confirm everything in writing.
Do you need lighting?
It’s dark before 4pm in December, so we plan lighting with you.
Can you be flexible on serving time?
We’ll be as flexible as we can. Keep us posted on the day and we’ll fit around changes.
Can you trade at our Christmas fair?
We do. Hot food is always popular at winter fairs.
Should I cook it myself?
Full catering or machine hire? With catering, our chef roasts, carves and serves, and our staff clear up. With DIY hire, you do the work and save on staffing.
If you are confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You cook and carve it yourself; we’ll confirm what comes with it when you ask.
Why choose a hog roast in Watchmoor?
You can combine: turkey and pork together. The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, along with distance and how easy the site is. Every booking is different, so we quote each one individually.

- Request gluten-free rolls

- Tell us about vegetarians and vegans
Give us a contact for the evening, especially for an office party.

What we serve, dish by dish
Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
Let us know numbers for the vegan option, and we will plan the vegan burgers or sausages.

Prices and what affects them
A few things make the biggest difference to the price:
- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
- Access to the cooking area
- How long the roast and service take
- Whether you want china
When comparing prices, compare the same things: menu, sides, serving time, staff, plates and travel. The cheapest quote isn’t always the best value.
