Goodley Stock: your questions answered
Is Goodley Stock too small for a hog roast?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
Is Goodley Stock close to London?
Roughly 19 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
What about coeliacs?
Gluten-free rolls are available on request. Ask for the allergen list, as stuffing normally contains gluten.
Can you cater for vegetarians?
Add lamb, chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers or a vegan option. We do not offer halal meat.
Will there be enough to go round?
Quantities are based on your numbers, and we’ll confirm everything in writing.
What if things run late?
We work back from when you want to eat, and we can hold the roast for a while if the day runs behind.
Do you need power or water?
The roaster runs on gas, so we don’t need mains power to cook. A socket nearby is useful for lighting.
Do you work to set times?
We plan the roast to your lunch call, and we’ll adjust where we can.
A hog roast or other catering?
