If lunch moves, we hold the roast a little.

Common questions in Dora's Green
What’s the nearest station to Dora's Green?
Farnham station, about 2.3 miles south-east of the centre.
Do you come out to small places like Dora's Green?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Can you be flexible on serving time?
Because the roast takes hours, we plan from your serving time, and we can hold the roast for a while if the day runs behind.
When do you start roasting?
It depends on the size of the hog and the weather, but it is several hours. You’ll know our arrival time in advance.
Do you need much space at base?
Usually, if there is a level, open spot for the roaster under cover. We will agree it with your location manager.
Does the roaster have to be outside?
It cooks outside, under a gazebo, on a level spot. Serving indoors is typically fine if the venue is happy.
What does the production need from you?
Every production is different; share your list and we’ll respond.
Can you cater for vegans on set?
There are chicken, lamb, vegetarian and vegan options. Halal is not available.

How it works
People love watching the carving: our chef carves the pork in front of the queue, with crackling for everyone who wants it. In December, daylight in Dora's Green ends around 3:55pm, so a late lunch or wrap at base needs lighting. In summer, light lasts until about 9:20pm.
- Production sends us the location and call times.
- We check access to base and quote.
- The roast starts early.
- We serve when lunch is called.
- We clear our spot.
Before we arrive
- Ensure the cooking area is away from walls, tents and trees

- Tell us about narrow gates or side passages
