What else we do in Great Mongeham
The menu, dish by dish

Prices and what affects them
Each price is built from:
- Time on site
- Numbers
- Menu choices and extras
- Distance from us
Midweek and quieter months are frequently easier to book, and the menu you choose makes a difference too. Tell us your budget and we will suggest what works.
Details that help
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what to include:
- Dietary requirements
- An estimate of numbers
- The address or postcode
- The date and when you’d like to eat
The quickest way to get a price is to tell us the date, where the event is and roughly how many. A photo of the cooking area helps. Use our quote form.
Catered or do it yourself?
A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is typically easier.
You could go for a cold buffet, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you, especially outdoors.
Looking after everyone
You’ll get allergen information for everything we serve. To make the most of it:
- Signpost the stall clearly
- Balance the food line-up
- Tell us what the event asks of traders
- Show allergens at the stall
Give us a contact on the day, especially for big events.
If your event has a theme, tell us.
