Questions from Cheriton
Can you roast near the sea around Cheriton?
Yes. Wind is something we plan for: a sheltered spot and secure cover.
Could you cook in Lower Leas Coastal Park?
Only if the landowner, typically the council, allows it. Ask them first.
Do you come to Cheriton?
We do. Tell us the venue or postcode and we will check the date.
What should we sort out beforehand?
The agreed cooking area, access for our equipment and someone to meet us. We’ll bring the rest.
Can visitors eat too?
Many homes make it a family day.
Do you leave the area tidy?
Our staff clear the serving area, and we take our equipment with us.
Is there a non-pork option?
There are lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options: spit-roast lamb, rotisserie chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers or a vegan burger or sausage. We don’t offer halal meat.
How do you handle allergies?
Allergen details are provided for your team to check.

What we serve, dish by dish

Crunchy coleslaw suits roast pork, while salads and potatoes make a plated meal.
The process
When we arrive, we position the roaster under cover and get the hog cooking. From there it cooks low and slow for hours, timed so it’s ready when you want to eat. In summer, Cheriton has daylight until about 9:15pm, which makes garden events easy. In winter, dark by about 3:50pm, a lunchtime event is better.
- We start with the date and numbers.
- We agree the cooking spot and quote.
- The roast starts early.
- We carve and serve where you choose.
- We pack up calmly.
Before we arrive
- Plan a step-free way in for the equipment
- Plan somewhere sheltered for people to eat if it rains
- Give us a contact number for the day
