Hollingdean: your questions answered
Can you roast near the sea around Hollingdean?
Yes. Wind is something we plan for: a sheltered spot and secure cover.
What’s the nearest station to Hollingdean?
Moulsecoomb station, about 0.5 miles east of the centre.
Can we hire the machine and cook it ourselves?
Yes, we hire out the hog roast machine. We will explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
Is mains power needed?
Cooking is gas-fired, so no mains power is needed for the roast. A socket nearby is useful for lighting.
Can the hog roast be cooked indoors?
No, the roast is always cooked outdoors under cover, away from buildings and marquee walls. Serving inside is often possible, with the venue’s agreement.
How long does a hog roast take to cook?
A whole hog roasts for several hours, so we arrive well before you want to eat. We work back from your serving time.
What about coeliacs?
Gluten-free rolls are available on request. Ask for the allergen list, as stuffing normally contains gluten.
Do you come to Hollingdean?
We do. Tell us the venue or postcode and we’ll check the date.
Planning for dietary needs
You will get allergen information for everything we serve. To help:
- Put the allergen list where people can see it
- Ask staff about dietary needs in advance
- Count anyone who doesn’t eat pork, for the alternatives
- Plan separately for anyone who needs halal food
We clear the serving area and pack away, and leave the site clean.
Ask about china for a more formal lunch, quoted separately.
