Common questions in Ruislip Manor
Could you cook in Church Field Gardens?
Only if the landowner, typically the council, allows it. Ask them first.
Can you cater after a service at Church of St Paul?
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 usually elsewhere. Send us the address.
What space does the roaster need?
A level, open area outdoors with room for the roaster, a gazebo and a carving table, well clear of walls, tents and branches. We’ll confirm the space with your quote.
Can you cater a wake at short notice?
Frequently, yes. Contact us as soon as you have a date and we will tell you quickly.
Do you bring plates?
Plates are included. China is available at an extra cost.
Do you serve rolls or plates?
Either: plates with sides or simple rolls.
What happens in bad weather?
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.
Can you cater for vegetarians?
The menu has lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options. We do not provide halal meat.
