Crockenhill: your questions answered
Is Crockenhill close to London?
About 14 miles from central London, and well within our area.
Can you do a hog roast at a venue in the Kent Downs National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about cooking and vehicles, so check with yours. We’ll follow the site rules.
Is crockery included?
Plates are included. China is available at an extra cost.
Can you be flexible on serving time?
Because the roast takes hours, we plan from your serving time, and a cooked roast can be held for a while if things run late.
Do you cover Crockenhill?
Yes. We cover London and the South East, Crockenhill and the rest of Kent included. Tell us the venue and we will quote.
Do you need much space at base?
Normally, if there’s a level, open spot for the roaster under cover. We’ll agree it with your location manager.
What about crew who do not eat pork?
The menu has lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options. We don’t provide halal meat.
Do you offer gluten-free rolls?
Ask for gluten-free rolls and we will bring them. You will get allergen details for everything.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
Standard rolls and stuffing contain gluten, so ask for gluten-free rolls if you need them. A few more tips:
- Count crew needing an alternative
- Plan separately for halal if needed
- Keep vegetarian food labelled
- Collect crew dietary needs from the call sheet
We serve quickly on the call.
A second meat widens the menu.
