Aaron's Hill: your questions answered
Can you do a hog roast in Phillips Memorial Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, typically the council, and many parks don’t allow cooking. Ask them first.
Do you cater at venues in the Surrey Hills National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about cooking and vehicles, so check with yours. We’ll work to whatever the site needs.
How long does a hog roast take to cook?
Hours rather than minutes. You’ll know our arrival time in advance.
Do you cater in village halls?
At home, a hall, a club or a venue, given an outdoor cooking area.
Can you wait?
That is fine: we hold the food until people arrive.
How much room do you need?
A level, open area outdoors with room for the roaster, a gazebo and a carving table, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging trees. We’ll confirm the space with your quote.
Can the hog roast be cooked indoors?
The roaster always stays outside, under cover, away from buildings and marquee walls. We can frequently serve indoors if the venue agrees.
How big a hog will we need?
We plan quantities from the numbers you give us, and we’ll confirm everything in writing.
