Parkhurst questions
Can you roast near the sea around Parkhurst?
Yes. Wind is something we plan for: a sheltered spot and secure cover.
Can you do a hog roast in Seaclose Park?
Only if the landowner, usually the council, allows it. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
Can you work around our timings?
Within reason, we can. Keep us posted on the day and we’ll adjust.
Can you roast in the rain?
We roast under cover, so the food isn’t affected. Plan somewhere sheltered for eating.
What about coeliacs?
Gluten-free rolls are available on request. Stuffing usually contains gluten, so check the allergen information.
What time do you serve?
We fit around the home’s routine, whether lunch or later.
Will there be enough to go round?
Quantities are based on your numbers, and we will confirm everything in writing.
Do you do DIY hog roast hire?
We do, if you’re happy to roast and carve yourself. Ask and we will talk you through it.

Planning the cooking spot
Most outdoor spaces can work with a little planning. Here’s what helps:
- A spot that keeps access clear
- Somewhere for residents to eat comfortably
- A level spot in the garden or car park
Parkhurst is a more remote spot, so tell us early and we will plan the journey.

How it works
Here’s how the day normally runs: the roaster goes up and the hog goes on, the roast cooks gently through the day, and we carve and serve at the agreed time. In Parkhurst, December daylight ends around 4:00pm, so winter hog roast days are best kept to lunchtime.
- The home tells us the date, numbers and serving 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.
Preparing for the day
- Think about shelter for your residents
- Give us final numbers a week or so before
- Choose someone to meet us on arrival
