Questions from Pollhill
Is Pollhill too small for a hog roast?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Could you cook in Kiln Wood?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, typically the council, and many parks don’t allow cooking. Ask them first.
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.
When should we book our Christmas party?
As early as possible, especially for Fridays and Saturdays. Ask as soon as you know your date.
Can the food be served indoors?
Cooking is always outdoors; guests can eat inside.
What do people get?
Roast pork carved into soft rolls with sage and onion stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. You can add lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options, salads, coleslaw and potatoes.
Do you offer gluten-free rolls?
We can provide gluten-free rolls if you ask. Stuffing generally contains gluten, so check the allergen information.
What if it rains?
We roast under cover, so the food is not affected. Plan somewhere sheltered for eating.

What happens on the day
We get there well ahead of service, because a whole hog takes hours to roast. Your guests will smell it long before they see it. A lunchtime Christmas party in Pollhill is the only one in good daylight, as it is dark by about 3:50pm, so evening parties need lights and shelter.

- We carve and serve hot on cue.
