Rye Harbour questions
What about windy coastal sites?
Yes. We roast under cover and choose a sheltered spot where we can.
Could you cook in Rye Harbour LNR?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, generally the council, and many parks don’t allow cooking. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
What do people get?
Pork, stuffing, apple sauce and crackling in a soft roll. Sides and extra meats are listed in your quote.
Where will the roaster go?
In the garden or car park, agreed with the manager.
How do you work out quantities?
Quantities are based on your numbers, and we will confirm everything in writing.
Can you fit around mealtimes?
Serving time is up to you, lunch or an afternoon event.
Can you do gluten-free?
Gluten-free rolls are available on request. Ask for the allergen list, as stuffing normally contains gluten.

A flat, open spot outside, and a way to wheel everything in. Send us a picture if you are unsure.
