Mottisfont questions
Is Mottisfont too small for a hog roast?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Which station is closest to Mottisfont?
The closest is Mottisfont & Dunbridge station, roughly 0.6 miles away.
Do you provide china?
We bring plates as standard. China crockery is available on request and quoted separately.
How far ahead should we book?
As early as you can for summer weekends and December. Quieter dates can often be booked at shorter notice. Ask and we will check.
Do you serve the food?
No need for your own staff: we carve, serve and tidy up.
Can you do gluten-free?
Gluten-free rolls are available on request. Stuffing typically contains gluten, so check the allergen information.
Do you need power or water?
No, the roast is cooked on gas. Let us know what’s on site.
Can you cater our wrap?
We do.
