Your questions about a hog roast day in Foxendown
Is Foxendown too small for a hog roast?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Can you do a hog roast in Camer Park Country Park?
Only if the landowner, typically the council, allows it. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
How big a hog will we need?
We plan quantities from the numbers you give us, and we’ll confirm everything in writing.
What comes with the hog roast?
Rolls with roast pork, stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. You can add lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options, salads, coleslaw and potatoes.
Do you come to Foxendown?
Yes, Foxendown is in our area. Send us the address and we will confirm availability.
Can you serve at lunch?

What happens in bad weather?
Rain does not stop the cooking. A marquee, hall or barn for eating makes all the difference.
Do we need to provide electricity?
Cooking is gas-fired, so no mains power is needed for the roast. A socket nearby is useful for lighting.
