FAQs for Eddington
Can you roast near the sea around Eddington?
Yes, of course. Wind is something we plan for: a sheltered spot and secure cover.
Can you do a hog roast in Curtis Wood?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, generally the council, and many parks do not allow cooking. Check with them first.
Can you do a hog roast for a client event?
With china and sides, it works well for clients.
Can you cook inside a hall or marquee?
No, the roast is always cooked outdoors under cover, at a safe distance from walls and tents. Serving inside is often possible, with the venue’s agreement.
Where on site can you cook?
Wherever your facilities team agrees, outdoors and under cover.
Do we need our own staff?
Our chef carves and our staff serve, and we clear up when service is finished.
How much does a hog roast cost?
Each event is priced on its own, based on numbers, menu, service time and distance. Ask us for a quote.
Do you need power or water?
Not to cook, because the roaster is gas-fired. Let us know what’s on site.
DIY versus a catered hog roast
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
Working with your venue
Organisers may ask for documents such as a risk assessment or gas safety information. Let us know what your event requires and we’ll tell you what we can send.
For workplace bookings, check with facilities about gas equipment and vehicle access. We work to the site’s rules.
Looking after everyone
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. Here are a few tips:
- Share the allergen information with the team
- Stuffing normally contains gluten, so check the allergen list
- Ask staff about dietary needs in advance
- Halal is not offered, so arrange it separately if needed
Afterwards we tidy up, and leave the site clean.
Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed.
Where the roaster can go in Eddington
Most gardens, car parks, yards and fields work if a few things are right. Here’s what we look for:
- A named contact for the day
- Approval from facilities for gas equipment
- Access through the site gates
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.
