Havenstreet: your questions answered
Can you roast near the sea around Havenstreet?
Yes. Wind is something we plan for: a sheltered spot and secure cover.
What’s the nearest station to Havenstreet?
Smallbrook Junction station, about 2.2 miles east of the centre.
What happens in bad weather?
Rain does not stop the cooking. A marquee, hall or barn for eating makes all the difference.
Can you carve thinly?
We can carve thinly and serve on plates with potatoes and apple sauce.
Do you clear up?
Our staff clear up after service, and leave the area tidy.
When should we book?
Summer Saturdays and December book up first. For other dates, a few weeks can be enough. Ask and we’ll check.
What do you need from us on the day?
Just the agreed spot and a contact on the day. Everything for roasting and serving comes with us.
Do you provide china?
Plates come as standard. China crockery is available on request and quoted separately.
What we serve, dish by dish
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
For vegetarians, halloumi and vegetable skewers are cooked separately from the meat, a hot, filling option of their own.
Stuffing and apple sauce
Sharp, sweet apple sauce and savoury sage and onion stuffing go with the pork perfectly. Note that stuffing normally contains gluten.

For event organisers in Havenstreet
Marquee suppliers typically set distances for cooking equipment, so tell them a hog roast is coming. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.
Venues frequently have rules for outside caterers, from approved lists to where a gas roaster can go. Ask early, and tell us what they ask for.
How it works
Slow roasting is the whole point: the meat cooks gently until it’s tender while the skin crisps into crackling. Then it rests briefly before our chef carves. Winter afternoons in Havenstreet are short, with sunset at about 4:00pm, so winter hog roast days are best kept to lunchtime.
- We start with the date, numbers of residents, staff and visitors, and the time.
- We confirm the spot with your manager and quote.
- We set up under cover and get the roast going.
- We serve in the dining room or garden, as you prefer.
- We clear away quietly and leave the grounds tidy.
Getting ready for the day
- Pick a flat, open area outside for cooking
- Make sure the cooking area is away from walls, tents and trees
- Gather dietary requirements early
