Corporate hog roast for Horsted Keynes
Horsted Keynes: your questions answered
Is Horsted Keynes close to London?
Roughly 32 miles from the centre of London.
Do you cater at venues in the High Weald National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about cooking and vehicles, so check with yours. We will work to whatever the site needs.
What happens in bad weather?
We cook under a gazebo, so rain is not a problem for the roast. Somewhere covered for people to eat helps.
Do you need power or water?
The roaster runs on gas, so we do not need mains power to cook. A socket nearby is useful for lighting.
Can you set up in our car park?
A car park, yard or grounds generally works, given level ground and clearance.
How soon do you get booked up?
As early as you can for summer weekends and December. For other dates, a few weeks can be enough. Ask and we’ll check.
Can you feed everyone in a short break?
Give us your break time and numbers and we’ll plan around them.
How much does a hog roast cost?
Each event is priced on its own, depending on numbers, menu, timings and travel. Tell us about your staff event for a quote.
