Can you do a hog roast in Stokes Field?

DIY versus a catered hog roast
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you.
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.
Planning the cooking spot
Before the day, it helps to think about where the roaster will go. The ideal spot has:
- A level spot in the car park, yard or grounds
- Somewhere to park our vehicle
- A covered area or canteen for wet weather
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.
What we serve
- Halloumi skewers (V)
- Spit-roast lamb

Planners, venues and businesses

If the event is on someone else’s land, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
