Sheet's Heath questions
How far is Sheet's Heath from London?
About 27 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
We are gathering after a service at Saint Saviour's Church: can you cater?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Churches rarely have space for a hog roast, so the food is usually elsewhere. Tell us where you’ll gather.
What do people get?
Roast pork carved into soft rolls with sage and onion stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. You can add lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options, salads, coleslaw and potatoes.
Do we need our own staff?
You don’t need anyone else: our chef carves and our team serves and clears.
How big a hog will we need?
We plan quantities from the numbers you give us, and we will talk it through when we quote.
What if it rains?
We cook under a gazebo, so rain is not a problem for the roast. A marquee, hall or barn for eating makes all the difference.
Can you cook inside a hall or marquee?
Outside, always. Serving indoors is normally fine if the venue is happy.
Can you cater in Sheet's Heath?
Yes, Sheet's Heath is in our area. Tell us the venue or postcode and we will confirm availability.
What the cooking area needs
The roaster needs the right spot, because it cooks outside for several hours, and a little planning goes a long way:
- Vehicle access near the cooking area
- A contact for the day who is not immediate family
- Flat ground outside the hall or house
Not sure about the cooking spot? Send us a photo and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
