Questions from North Hayling
Can you do a hog roast in Eames Farm?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, typically the council, and many parks don’t allow cooking. Check with them first.
Do you come out to small places like North Hayling?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Where do you cook at a care home?
Outdoors under cover, on a level spot clear of emergency access.
How soon do you get booked up?
Summer Saturdays and December book up first. For other dates, a few weeks can be enough. Send your date and we will check.
What space does the roaster need?
Enough level ground outdoors for the roaster and a serving table under cover, plus a step-free route to wheel the equipment in. A picture helps.
Do you serve the food?
You do not need anyone else: we carve, serve and tidy up.
Do you offer gluten-free rolls?
We can provide gluten-free rolls if you ask. Ask for the allergen list, as stuffing normally contains gluten.
Do you clear up?
We pack everything away after service, so you’re not left with the mess.

Organising for someone else?

- Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed
- Include staff and visitors in your numbers
- Ask the kitchen to prepare texture-modified portions
- Halal is not offered
We set up under cover in the grounds, following your sign-in and safety rules.
Gluten-free rolls are available on request.
- Cooked where you are, slowly, over several hours outdoors
- Our chef carves the pork, with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling on the side
- Lamb, chicken and vegetarian options alongside the pork
