FAQs for Ruckinge
Is Ruckinge too small for a hog roast?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.

Roughly 52 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
What about the neighbours?
A friendly word helps: roasting takes hours. They may want a roll.

We tidy the serving area, so there is very little washing up.
How big a hog will we need?
We size the roast to your numbers, so a good estimate matters. The quote sets it out.

We supply plates as standard. You can upgrade to china if you prefer.
What happens after service?
Our staff clear the serving area, and we take our equipment with us.
What about guests who don’t eat pork?

Diets, allergies and alternatives
Allergies and dietary needs are easy to manage if we know in advance. Some ideas:
- Check the allergen list, as stuffing typically contains gluten
- Count non-pork eaters so we can bring chicken or a vegetarian option
- Halal is not offered, so arrange it separately if needed
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if anyone needs them
We set up in the agreed spot, leaving the garden to you and your guests.
China crockery is available on request, quoted separately.
