FAQs for Dora's Green
How far is Dora's Green from London?
Roughly 37 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
Is Dora's Green too small for a hog roast?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
Can we offer lamb too?
Lamb and chicken are both available as a second option.
Will there be enough to go round?
We size the roast to your numbers, so a good estimate matters. We will confirm the menu in the quote.
Can you cook inside a hall or marquee?
Outside, always. Serving indoors is generally fine if the venue is happy.
Do we need to provide electricity?
Not to cook, because the roaster is gas-fired. Let us know what’s on site.
Do you offer gluten-free rolls?
We can provide gluten-free rolls if you ask. Ask for the allergen list, as stuffing normally contains gluten.
How much does a hog roast cost?
It depends on numbers, the menu and how long we are on site. Tell us your date and we will send a price.
