Common questions in Crondall
Do you come out to small places like Crondall?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
Can you cater after a service at Church of All Saints?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby with an outdoor spot for the roaster. Food is generally served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you will gather.
What about guests who do not eat pork?
We can add lamb or chicken, plus halloumi skewers for vegetarians and a vegan burger or sausage. We don’t provide halal meat.
Can you cater a wake at short notice?
We do our best at short notice. Send the date and venue for a quick answer.
What’s the price?
Each event is priced on its own, based on numbers, menu, service time and distance. Tell us about your wake for a quote.
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.
How do you work out quantities?
The roast is chosen to suit how many you’re feeding, so tell us your best estimate. We’ll confirm the menu in the quote.
What if the service runs late?
We wait: we hold the food until people arrive.
A hog roast or other catering?
Next to sandwiches, a hog roast is a warm meal. Extras such as lamb, chicken, more sides or china crockery add to the cost, so each one is itemised. A simple menu keeps the cost down.
