Can you do a hog roast in Haysden Country Park?
Only if the landowner, usually the council, allows it. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
What do you need from us on the day?
A clear, level cooking spot, a route to wheel the equipment in and a contact for the day. We’ll bring the rest.

The roaster always stays outside, under cover, away from buildings and marquee walls. Serving inside is frequently possible, with the venue’s agreement.

What paperwork do you provide for our site?

Can you set up in our car park?
A car park, yard or grounds normally works, if there’s a level spot away from buildings and vehicles.
