Hascombe: your questions answered
Which station is closest to Hascombe?
Milford (Surrey) station, about 3 miles west of the centre.
Can you cater after a service at Church of St Peter?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Food is usually served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you will gather.
Can you cater a wake at short notice?
Usually. Get in touch when the date is set and we’ll answer right away.
Do you need anything from the family?
Only the place, numbers and a contact. We will handle the rest.
Can you cook inside a hall or marquee?
No, the roast is always cooked outdoors under cover, at a safe distance from walls and tents. We can frequently serve indoors if the venue agrees.
What if it rains?
The roaster is under cover, so a shower does not stop us. Plan somewhere sheltered for eating.
Can you cater for vegetarians?
Add lamb, chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers or a vegan option. Please note we don’t offer halal meat.
What if people arrive late?
That is fine: a cooked roast can be held for a while.
About the food
Roast pork
Slow-roasted pork is the heart of the menu: carved thick or thin, as people like it, straight from the roaster.
