Your questions about a hog roast for your team in Stone
Could you cook in Darenth Country Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, usually the council, and many parks do not allow cooking. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
Is Stone close to London?
Roughly 16 miles from the centre of London.
Do you provide china?
Plates are included. You can upgrade to china if you prefer.
Who serves?
Our chef carves and our staff serve, then clear the serving area afterwards.
What do people get?
Roast pork carved into soft rolls with sage and onion stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. You can add lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options, salads, coleslaw and potatoes.
Can you do gluten-free?
Ask for gluten-free rolls and we will bring them. We’ll give you full allergen information for every dish.
Can you feed staff and families?
We do. Give us total numbers and we’ll cater for all.
How long does the roast need?
A whole hog roasts for several hours, which is why we arrive hours ahead. We work back from your serving time.
A hog roast or other catering?
If it’s for clients, choose china, sides and lamb or chicken to make it more formal. When comparing prices, compare the same things: the menu, sides, service time, staffing, crockery and travel. A cheaper headline price can leave things out.
