Questions from Codmore Hill
Is Codmore Hill close to London?
About 40 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
Do you trade at school fairs around Codmore Hill?
Yes, with the school’s permission. Tell us the date and pitch details.
Can you cater in Codmore Hill?
We do. Tell us the venue or postcode and we’ll confirm availability.
Do you need power or water?
Cooking is gas-fired, so no mains power is needed for the roast. Power can help with lighting after dark.
How soon do you get booked up?
Summer Saturdays and December book up first. Quieter dates can often be booked at shorter notice. Ask and we’ll check.
What’s included?
The classic: pork in rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. Your quote lists any sides and extras.
Can you do a school fair?
Yes, if the school agrees. Send us the details.
Can you cook inside a hall or marquee?
It cooks outside, under a gazebo, on a level spot. The food can be carried in and served indoors where the venue allows.
Full catering or machine hire?
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.
You could go for a cold buffet, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you, especially outdoors.
