Questions from Mountfield
How far is Mountfield from London?
Roughly 45 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
We’re gathering after a service at The Parish Church of All Saints: can you cater?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby with an outdoor spot for the roaster. Food is generally served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you will gather.
Is there an alternative to pork?
We can add alternatives.
Can you serve on plates?
Plates come as standard, and china is available on request.
What about guests who do not eat pork?
The menu has lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options. We don’t provide halal meat.
How long does the roast need?
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.
Do you need power or water?
Not to cook, because the roaster is gas-fired. Let us know what’s on site.
Do you need anything from the family?
Not much: the space and a contact.
Organising for someone else?
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so it’s worth asking first. We’ll work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.
If you are a venue or event planner, we can fit around your other suppliers.
