FAQs for Graffham
How far is Graffham from London?
Roughly 46 miles from the centre of London.
Do you cater at venues in the South Downs National Park?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for caterers; ask your venue. We will work to whatever the site needs.
What should we sort out beforehand?
Just the agreed spot and a contact on the day. Everything for roasting and serving comes with us.
Can you cater a wake at short notice?
We do our best at short notice. Send the date and venue for a quick answer.
How big a hog will we need?
We plan quantities from the numbers you give us, and we’ll confirm everything in writing.
Can you work around our timings?
We work back from when you want to eat, and a cooked roast can be held for a while if things run late.
Does the roaster have to be outside?
It cooks outside, under a gazebo, on a level spot. Serving indoors is normally fine if the venue is happy.
What about coeliacs?
We can provide gluten-free rolls if you ask. Stuffing typically contains gluten, so check the allergen information.

What happens on the day
Here’s how the day typically runs: we arrive, set up under cover and start roasting, the roast cooks gently through the day, and we carve and serve at the agreed time. Autumn and winter afternoons in Graffham get dark early: about 7:05pm in late September and 4:00pm in December, so a later wake may need lighting outside.
- Get in touch when the date is set.
- We check the cooking spot with the venue.
- We cook on site.
- Our staff serve without fuss.
- We leave the venue tidy.
How to prepare
- Pick a flat, open area outside for cooking
