FAQs for Littleton Common
We’re gathering after a service at Parish Church of St Matthew: can you cater?
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 typically elsewhere. Tell us where you will gather.
Do you come out to small places like Littleton Common?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Do you cover Littleton Common?
Yes. We cater across London and the South East, including Littleton Common and Surrey. Send us the address for a quote.
Can you roast in the rain?
We cook under a gazebo, so rain isn’t a problem for the roast. A marquee, hall or barn for eating makes all the difference.
What space does the roaster need?
Roughly the footprint of a gazebo or two, on level ground, well clear of walls, tents and branches. We’ll check it with you before booking.
What do you need from us on the day?
A clear, level cooking spot, a route to wheel the equipment in and a contact for the day. We will bring the rest.
What about coeliacs?
We can supply gluten-free rolls on request. We’ll give you full allergen information for every dish.
Can we hire the machine and cook it ourselves?
DIY machine hire is available. We will confirm what comes with it and how to use it.
Working with your venue
For events on land you don’t own, such as a park or field, you will need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
