Questions from Mindenhurst
What’s the nearest station to Mindenhurst?
Farnborough North station, about 1.9 miles west of the centre.
Can you do a hog roast in Frimley Lodge Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, typically the council, and many parks do not allow cooking. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
Do you serve the food?
No need for your own staff: our chef carves and our team serves and clears.
Do we need to provide electricity?
The roaster runs on gas, so we don’t need mains power to cook. Power can help with lighting after dark.
Is it a sit-down meal?
Plates come as standard, and china is available on request.
When do you start roasting?
Several hours, depending on the size and the weather, which is why we arrive hours ahead. We plan the timings from when you want to eat.
What should we sort out beforehand?
The agreed cooking area, access for our equipment and someone to meet us. We bring everything else.
Do you offer gluten-free rolls?
We can provide gluten-free rolls if you ask. Stuffing normally contains gluten, so check the allergen information.
Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
If the hall or pub provides food, check whether we can cater there. When comparing prices, compare the same things: menu, sides, serving time, staff, plates and travel. A cheaper headline price can leave things out.
