Common questions in Warfield
Is Warfield too small for a hog roast?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
How far is Warfield from London?
Roughly 28 miles from the centre of London.
Can the hog roast be cooked indoors?
The roaster always stays outside, under cover, away from buildings and marquee walls. Serving inside is frequently possible, with the venue’s agreement.
Can you roast in the rain?
We cook under a gazebo, so rain isn’t a problem for the roast. Somewhere covered for people to eat helps.
Can we just hire the roaster?
We do, if you’re happy to roast and carve yourself. Ask and we will talk you through it.
Can you do something else?
There are chicken, vegetarian and vegan alternatives. We do not offer halal meat.
Do you serve rolls or plates?
Plates come as standard, and china is available on request.
Do you offer gluten-free rolls?
Ask for gluten-free rolls and we’ll bring them. You’ll get allergen details for everything.
Allergies and dietary needs
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. A few tips:
- Older guests may prefer food on plates
- Count anyone who does not eat pork
- Tell us about vegetarians and vegans
- Stuffing generally contains gluten
Food is served as everyone gathers, calmly and without fuss.
Serve on plates with salads and potatoes for a sit-down meal.
Organising for someone else?
Event organisers often ask caterers for paperwork such as a risk assessment. Let us know what your event requires and we’ll tell you what we can send.
Venues frequently have rules for outside caterers, from approved lists to where a gas roaster can go. Ask early, and tell us what they ask for.
Step by step
We roast under cover, so a shower won’t spoil the food. Your guests will still want somewhere dry to eat, such as a marquee, hall or barn. Most wakes in Warfield are held in the afternoon, which is daylight for most of the year, but by late December it’s dark at about 3:55pm.
