FAQs for Hill Grove
How far is Hill Grove from London?
About 61 miles from central London, and well within our area.
Do you come out to small places like Hill Grove?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
How much room do you need?
Enough level ground outdoors for the roaster and a serving table under cover, and a way to wheel everything in. A picture helps.
What should we sort out beforehand?
Only the space and a contact number. Everything for roasting and serving comes with us.
Can you do gluten-free?
We can supply gluten-free rolls on request. We will give you full allergen information for every dish.
Can you roast in the rain?
The roaster is under cover, so a shower does not stop us. Your guests will want somewhere dry to eat.
Can you do a hog roast in our back garden?
Describe the space and the way in, and we’ll give you an honest answer.
Can you be flexible on serving time?
We’ll be as flexible as we can. Keep us posted on the day and we will fit around changes.
The process
Carving is part of the show: our chef carves the pork in front of the queue, and the crackling is shared out so everyone gets some. At midsummer, it is light in Hill Grove until about 9:20pm, so a garden party can run well into the evening. In late September it is dark by about 7:10pm; add lights for the evening.
- Start with the date, the address and roughly how many.
- We check the garden or drive and quote.
- We set up hours ahead.
- We carve and serve at food time.
- We tidy up and pack away.
Getting ready for the day
- Give us a contact number for the day
- Measure the narrowest gate or passage
- Ask about allergies and dietary needs beforehand

- Think about children’s portions

- Keep the vegetarian option labelled
On the day, we arrive hours before the party starts, so it is cooking when guests arrive.
Rotisserie chicken is popular at family parties.
