Common questions in Pyrford Green
Could you cook in Manor Farm?
Only if the landowner, normally the council, allows it. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
Can you do a hog roast at a venue in the Surrey Hills National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for caterers; ask your venue. We will follow the site rules.
Will there be enough to go round?
We size the roast to your numbers, so a good estimate matters. We will confirm the menu in the quote.
What about coeliacs?
Ask for gluten-free rolls and we’ll bring them. We will give you full allergen information for every dish.
What do we need to organise?
Only the place, numbers and a contact. We will handle the rest.
Do you need power or water?
Cooking is gas-fired, so no mains power is needed for the roast. A socket nearby is useful for lighting.

Our chef carves and our staff serve, and we clear up when service is finished.
