Wisley: your questions answered
Can you do a hog roast in Manor Farm?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, typically the council, and many parks don’t allow cooking. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
Is Wisley close to London?
Roughly 21 miles from the centre of London.
How long does a hog roast take to cook?
Several hours, depending on the size and the weather, which is why we arrive hours ahead. We work back from your serving time.
How much does a hog roast cost?
Every booking is quoted individually, based on numbers, menu, service time and distance. Tell us about your wake for a quote.
Can you cater in Wisley?
Yes, Wisley is in our area. Tell us the venue or postcode and we will check the date.
What about guests who don’t eat pork?
We can add alternatives for those who need them.
What if the service runs late?
Name someone we can call and we’ll adjust.
What should we provide?
Not much: an outdoor cooking spot and someone to meet us.
Organising for someone else?
Venues often have rules for outside caterers, including where gas cooking is allowed. Check early, and pass on anything they need from us.
Marquee hire companies frequently have rules about cooking near their tents, so let them know about the roaster. We will keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.
About the food
Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
A plant-based burger or sausage covers vegans, served in a roll with salads.
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
Soft rolls hold the pork, stuffing and apple sauce together, perfect for eating on the move. Gluten-free rolls are available on request.
A hog roast or other catering?
Next to sandwiches, a hog roast is a warm meal, especially in colder months. Extras such as lamb, chicken, more sides or china crockery add to the cost, so each one is itemised. Keeping it simple keeps it affordable.
