Do you cater at venues in the Surrey Hills National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about cooking and vehicles, so check with yours. We’ll work to whatever the site needs.
What if our house in Netherne on-the-Hill has no side access?
Frequently, if there is a rear gate, a front garden or a yard we can use. Tell us about steps, gates and parking and we will advise.

DIY machine hire is available. We will confirm what comes with it and how to use it.

Not much: an outdoor cooking spot and someone to meet us.

Give us a contact for the day and we will serve when everyone is there.
Can you do gluten-free?
Gluten-free rolls are available on request. Stuffing generally contains gluten, so check the allergen information.
What’s the price?
Each event is priced on its own, based on numbers, menu, service time and distance. Tell us about your wake for a quote.
What happens after service?
Our staff clear up after service, and leave the area tidy.
What happens on the day
We get there well ahead of service, because a whole hog takes hours to roast. The smell generally brings people over long before we carve. Late-December sunset in Netherne on-the-Hill is about 3:55pm, so an afternoon wake in winter needs lighting by the food. Summer wakes have daylight well into the evening.

- Plates are easier for older guests than rolls
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten
- Request gluten-free rolls
We dress smartly and keep a low profile.
Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed.
Before you choose a spot
The roaster needs the right spot, because it cooks outside for several hours, so a few things are worth checking:
- Flat ground outside the hall or house
- Space inside for guests
- A safe distance from the hall
Netherne on-the-Hill is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and access can be tight: tell us about side or rear access, steps and parking for our vehicle.
