Questions from Castle Town
Is Castle Town close to London?
Roughly 44 miles from the centre of London.
Can you do a hog roast in Hillside Park (parke sa Hiniusang Gingharian)?
Only if the landowner, typically the council, allows it. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
Can you serve at lunch?
Choose the time, and we’ll be ready.
When do you start roasting?
Several hours, depending on the size and the weather, so we arrive well before you want to eat. We plan the timings from when you want to eat.
Can residents with swallowing difficulties have the hog roast?
Modified textures are best done by the home; your team prepares those portions.
Can you cook inside a hall or marquee?
No, the roast is always cooked outdoors under cover, at a safe distance from walls and tents. We can frequently serve indoors if the venue agrees.
What about coeliacs?
We can provide gluten-free rolls if you ask. Ask for the allergen list, as stuffing normally contains gluten.
Do we need to provide electricity?
No, the roast is cooked on gas. Tell us what’s available and we will plan around it.
