- Find out who would prefer chicken or a vegetarian option

- Give us numbers for the alternatives
- Ask close family about dietary needs
Name a friend or relative as our contact, so the family can focus on guests.

How the day works
A typical booking goes like this: the roaster goes up and the hog goes on, the pork cooks slowly for hours, and our chef carves it when you are ready. In winter, it is dark in Woldingham Garden Village by about 3:55pm, so for an afternoon wake, light near the serving area and the door helps. In summer, there’s daylight until about 9:20pm.
