Questions from West Horsley
How far is West Horsley from London?
About 22 miles from central London.
Do you cater at venues in the Surrey Hills National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for caterers; ask your venue. We’ll work to whatever the site needs.
Can you do gluten-free?
We can provide gluten-free rolls if you ask. Stuffing normally contains gluten, so check the allergen information.
How much room do you need?
A flat, open spot outside, and a way to wheel everything in. Send us a picture if you’re unsure.
Can you cater our wrap?
Yes, a hog roast suits a relaxed wrap party, with lamb or chicken if you like.
Do you come to West Horsley?
Yes. We cater across London and the South East, West Horsley and the rest of Surrey included. Send us the address for a quote.
Is mains power needed?
Cooking is gas-fired, so no mains power is needed for the roast. A socket nearby is useful for lighting.
What if it rains?
The roaster is under cover, so a shower does not stop us. Plan somewhere sheltered for eating.

You will get allergen information for everything we serve. To make the most of it:
- Post allergen details at base

Planning the cooking spot
Planning the cooking spot is the key. A quick checklist:

Step by step
We get there well ahead of service, because a whole hog takes hours to roast. Your crew will smell it long before they see it. In December, daylight in West Horsley ends around 3:55pm, so a late lunch or wrap at base needs lighting. In summer, light lasts until about 9:20pm.
- Share the location details.
- We confirm where we set up.
- We cook at base.
- We serve rolls or plates quickly.
- We leave base tidy.
How to prepare
