Old Romney: your questions answered
Is Old Romney 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.
How far is Old Romney from London?
About 55 miles from central London, and well within our area.
How big a hog will we need?
We size the roast to your numbers, so a good estimate matters. The quote sets it out.
Can the hog roast be cooked indoors?
No, the roast is always cooked outdoors under cover, away from buildings and marquee walls. Serving inside is frequently possible, with the venue’s agreement.
How long does the roast need?
It depends on the size of the hog and the weather, but it’s several hours. You will know our arrival time in advance.
Can you serve at our lunch call?
We plan the roast to your lunch call, and we will adjust where we can.
What’s included?
The classic: pork in rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. Sides and extra meats are listed in your quote.
What if things run late?
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.
Prices and what affects them
Things that change the price:
- Menu choices and extras
- The number of people
- Access to the cooking area
