- The number of people

What the cooking area needs
Planning the cooking spot is the key. A quick checklist:
- A hall or room for eating
- A friend or relative we can call
- Approval from the landlord or committee
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.

Allergies and dietary needs
Standard rolls and stuffing contain gluten, so ask for gluten-free rolls if you need them. Other tips:
- Check with family about dietary needs
- Plan separately if anyone needs halal food
- Stuffing generally contains gluten
- Request gluten-free rolls
We hold the food if people are delayed.
Add chicken as an alternative.
For planners, venues and organisers
For workplace bookings, ask your facilities team about outside caterers and gas cooking. We work to the site’s rules.
Some venues add a fee for outside caterers, so it is worth asking first. We’ll liaise with them on access and set-up.

Is a hog roast right for your wake?
If the hall or pub provides food, ask whether outside caterers are allowed. Numbers make the biggest difference: the price per head normally falls as numbers rise, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.

Knotty Green questions
How far is Knotty Green from London?
Roughly 26 miles from the centre of London.
Can you cater after a service at Church of St Michael and All Angels?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby with an outdoor spot for the roaster. Churches rarely have space for a hog roast, so the food is generally elsewhere. Send us the address.
Do you cater in village halls?
Wherever the family gathers, if the roaster can cook outside.
Can you cater in Knotty Green?
We do. Tell us the venue or postcode and we will confirm availability.
What if the service runs late?
That’s fine: we hold the food until people arrive.
When do you start roasting?
A whole hog roasts for several hours, so we arrive well before you want to eat. We work back from your serving time.
What should we provide?
Just the venue, rough numbers and a contact for the day. We will handle the rest.
Can we just hire the roaster?
We do, if you’re happy to roast and carve yourself. Ask and we’ll talk you through it.
