Common questions in Whitmoor Vale
How far is Whitmoor Vale from London?
Roughly 39 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
Can you do a hog roast at a venue in the Surrey Hills National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for caterers; ask your venue. We’ll work to whatever the site needs.
How long does a hog roast take to cook?
A whole hog roasts for several hours, which is why we arrive hours ahead. We plan the timings from when you want to eat.
Is it pay as you go?
That depends on the event. Let us know how you’d like it to work and we will discuss the options.
What comes with the hog roast?
Rolls with roast pork, stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. Extras include lamb, chicken, halloumi skewers, a vegan option, salads and potatoes.
Does the roaster have to be outside?
The roaster always stays outside, under cover, at a safe distance from walls and tents. We can frequently serve indoors if the venue agrees.
How much will it be?
It depends on numbers, the menu and how long we’re on site. Tell us your date and we will send a price.
Is crockery included?
We bring plates as standard. If you’d like china, ask and we will add it to the quote.
Should I cook it myself?
A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is typically easier.
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.
