Questions from Crowhurst Lane End
Which station is closest to Crowhurst Lane End?
Godstone station, about 1.1 miles west of the centre.
We’re gathering after a service at Church of St George: can you cater?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Food is usually served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you’ll gather.
Can you cook inside a hall or marquee?
It cooks outside, under a gazebo, on a level spot. The food can be carried in and served indoors where the venue allows.
Is mains power needed?
The roaster runs on gas, so we do not need mains power to cook. Power can help with lighting after dark.
Do you do evening food?
Of course. We’ll agree a serving time around your running order.
Will our venue allow a hog roast?
It depends on the venue. Check with them first, and we’ll work with them on the details.
Where do you cook at a marquee wedding?
Outside, under its own cover, a safe distance from the marquee. We can serve inside the marquee if the supplier agrees.
How long does a hog roast take to cook?
It depends on the size of the hog and the weather, but it’s several hours. We will confirm our arrival time when we quote.

DIY versus a catered hog roast
You could go for a cold buffet, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience.
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
- Cooked where you are, slowly, over several hours outdoors
- Carved to order by our chef, with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- Not just pork: spit-roast lamb, chicken and vegetarian choices
- Staff to serve at the agreed time, then clear away
