Common questions in Whyteleafe
Can you do a hog roast in Blanchman's Farm?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, normally the council, and many parks do not allow cooking. Check with them first.
Do you come out to small places like Whyteleafe?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
Do you serve the food?
No need for your own staff: our chef carves and our team serves and clears.
Do you leave the area tidy?
We pack everything away after service, and we take our equipment with us.
Is lighting needed?
After dark, the serving area and the path to it need lighting. Let us know what lighting the venue has.
Is crockery included?
Plates come as standard. If you’d like china, ask and we will add it to the quote.
Can the hog roast be cooked indoors?
No, the roast is always cooked outdoors under cover, away from buildings and marquee walls. Serving inside is frequently possible, with the venue’s agreement.
What if it rains?
We roast under cover, so the food is not affected. Your guests will want somewhere dry to eat.
