Your questions about a hog roast for your team in Hillyfields
Which station is closest to Hillyfields?
Redbridge station, about 1.1 miles south of the centre.
Can you roast near the sea around Hillyfields?
Yes. We roast under cover and choose a sheltered spot where we can.
How does payment work for businesses?
Get in touch with your details, and the quote will include the terms.
Is crockery included?
We supply plates as standard. China is available at an extra cost.
Can you serve a fixed lunch break?
Yes. We time the roast to be ready and serve quickly. Rolls are the fastest way to serve.
How big a hog will we need?
The roast is chosen to suit how many you’re feeding, so a good estimate matters. We will confirm the menu in the quote.
How much room do you need?
Enough level ground outdoors for the roaster and a serving table under cover, and a way to wheel everything in. A picture helps.
Can it be more formal?
Yes. Add china, sides and a second roast for a more formal feel.
Working with your venue
If you are organising for someone else, whether you’re a planner, a PA or on a committee, tell us who our contact on the day will be. We’ll keep you both updated.
For events on land you do not own, such as a park or field, you’ll need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
How the day works
The secret is time: the meat cooks gently until it is tender while the skin turns into crackling. Then it rests briefly before our chef carves. Open days in Hillyfields typically finish in daylight, though in winter it is dark by about 4:00pm, so late events need lighting.
