FAQs for Heath End
Which station is closest to Heath End?

Is Heath End 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.
Can you help with a fundraiser?
Tell us about the event and how you’d like to raise money, and we will suggest a way to make it work.

Can you cook inside a hall or marquee?
Outside, always. The food can be carried in and served indoors where the venue allows.

Yes. We cover London and the South East, including Heath End and Surrey. Tell us the venue and we will quote.
What happens after service?
We clear the serving area and pack away, and leave the area tidy.
How long does a hog roast take to cook?
Several hours, depending on the size and the weather, so we arrive well before you want to eat. We work back from your serving time.
Organising for someone else?
Many venues set rules for outside caterers, from approved lists to where a gas roaster can go. Check early, and pass on anything they need from us.
If the event is on someone else’s land, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
Full catering or machine hire?
We also hire out the hog roast machine for confident cooks. You cook and carve it yourself; we will confirm what comes with it when you ask.
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
