Common questions in Culmers
What about windy coastal sites?
Yes, of course. Wind is something we plan for: a sheltered spot and secure cover.
Can you do a hog roast in Mount Ephraim Gardens?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, usually the council, and many parks don’t allow cooking. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
Do you need power or water?
The roaster runs on gas, so we don’t need mains power to cook. Power can help with lighting after dark.
Is lighting needed?
It’s dark before 4pm in December, so we’ll sort lighting together.
Can you work around our timings?
We will be as flexible as we can. Keep us posted on the day and we’ll fit around changes.
Will there be enough to go round?
Quantities are based on your numbers, and we’ll talk it through when we quote.
What comes with the hog roast?
Roast pork carved into soft rolls with sage and onion stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. Extras include lamb, chicken, halloumi skewers, a vegan option, salads and potatoes.
How much will it be?
Each event is priced on its own, based on numbers, menu, service time and distance. Tell us about your Christmas party for a quote.
How the day works
Your timings come first. If things run late, we can hold the cooked roast for a while before carving, so tell us as soon as plans change. A lunchtime Christmas party in Culmers is the only one in good daylight, as it’s dark by about 3:50pm, so evening parties need lights and shelter.

For planners, venues and organisers
If you’re a venue or event planner, we can fit around your other suppliers, sharing timings and a site plan.
Organisers may ask for documents such as a risk assessment or gas safety information. Let us know what your event requires and we will confirm what we can provide.
Should I cook it myself?
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.
You could roast a hog yourself, but it is a long day’s work, from early set-up to carving at the end. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
