Your questions about a hog roast day in Carisbrooke
Could you cook in Seaclose Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, normally the council, and many parks do not allow cooking. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
Can you roast near the sea around Carisbrooke?
Yes. We roast under cover and choose a sheltered spot where we can.
What’s the price?
It depends on numbers, the menu and how long we’re on site. Send us the details and we will quote.
How big a hog will we need?
We size the roast to your numbers, so a good estimate matters. We’ll confirm the menu in the quote.
What time do you serve?
Serving time is up to you, whether lunch or later.
What about residents who do not eat pork?
Add lamb, chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers or a vegan option. We don’t offer halal meat.
What should we sort out beforehand?
A clear, level cooking spot, a route to wheel the equipment in and a contact for the day. We’ll bring the rest.
Can you do gluten-free?
Gluten-free rolls are available on request. Stuffing normally contains gluten, so check the allergen information.
What happens on the day
We cook on a gas-fired roaster, so cooking doesn’t depend on mains power, though a socket nearby is handy for lighting. Winter afternoons in Carisbrooke are short, with sunset at about 4:00pm, so winter hog roast days are best kept to lunchtime.
- A date and rough headcount from the home gets things started.
- Photos of the grounds help us choose a safe spot.
- The kitchen shares residents’ dietary needs with us.
- On the day the hog roasts outside while residents watch from the lounge or garden.
- After serving, we clear away without disturbing the home.
Before we arrive
- Have a covered area for eating in case of rain
- Tell us about narrow gates or side passages
- Choose someone to meet us on arrival
