FAQs for St Leonards
Could you cook in Avon Heath Country Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, typically the council, and many parks don’t allow cooking. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
Can you do a hog roast at a venue in the New Forest National Park?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about cooking and vehicles, so check with yours. We’ll follow the site rules.
Do hog roasts work in winter?
We roast outdoors whatever the season. Plan a warm place for guests.
Do you need power or water?
Cooking is gas-fired, so no mains power is needed for the roast. Power can help with lighting after dark.

We can: add turkey to the menu.
Do we need our own staff?
No need for your own staff: our chef carves and our team serves and clears.
