Planning help
Full catering or machine hire?
You could go for a cold buffet, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience, especially outdoors.
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
Chaldon: your questions answered
How far is Chaldon from London?
About 15 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
Do you come out to small places like Chaldon?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Do you serve the food?
We carve and serve for you, then clear the serving area afterwards.
How far ahead should we book?
Popular dates go early. But do ask even at short notice: use our quote form.
What should we sort out beforehand?
Only the space and a contact number. We bring the roaster, cover and serving kit.
Can you do gluten-free?
Gluten-free rolls are available on request. Stuffing generally contains gluten, so check the allergen information.
Can you roast in the rain?
The roaster is under cover, so a shower does not stop us. Plan somewhere sheltered for eating.
Will there be enough to go round?
The roast is chosen to suit how many you’re feeding, so tell us your best estimate. We will confirm the menu in the quote.
What the cooking area needs
It is worth planning the cooking area in advance. We look for:
