Common questions in Hastings Old Town
How far is Hastings Old Town from London?
About 53 miles from central London, and well within our area.
Can you do a hog roast in Linton Gardens?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, usually the council, and many parks do not allow cooking. Check with them first.
Do we need to provide electricity?
The roaster runs on gas, so we do not need mains power to cook. Power can help with lighting after dark.
Can you work around our timings?
We work back from when you want to eat, and we can hold the roast for a while if the day runs behind.
Can you do gluten-free?
We can provide gluten-free rolls if you ask. Ask for the allergen list, as stuffing normally contains gluten.
Do you provide china?
We supply plates as standard. You can upgrade to china if you prefer.
Do residents have to eat rolls?
We can carve thinly and serve on plates with potatoes and apple sauce.
Do you come to Hastings Old Town?
Yes. We cater across London and the South East, Hastings Old Town and the rest of East Sussex included. Send us the address for a quote.
