FAQs for Barton Stacey
Which station is closest to Barton Stacey?
Micheldever station, about 4.8 miles east of the centre.
Is Barton Stacey too small for a hog roast?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Can we hire the machine and cook it ourselves?
We do, if you’re happy to roast and carve yourself. We’ll explain the details with your quote.
What about coeliacs?
Gluten-free rolls are available on request. Stuffing typically contains gluten, so check the allergen information.
Where does the hog roast go?
A flat, open spot outside, and a way to wheel everything in. Send us a photo if you are unsure.
Is mains power needed?
Cooking is gas-fired, so no mains power is needed for the roast. A socket nearby is useful for lighting.
Do you leave the area tidy?
We clear the serving area and pack away, leaving the spot as we found it.
Can the food be served indoors?
We cook outside, but can generally serve indoors if the venue agrees.
DIY versus a catered hog roast
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.
A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.
How the day works
We cook on a gas-fired roaster, so cooking doesn’t depend on mains power; a nearby socket helps with lights if service runs into the evening. In December, it is dark in Barton Stacey by about 4:00pm, so even a late-afternoon Christmas party needs lighting by the roaster and the serving table. We start in daylight and cook into the dark.
