Holmwood Corner: your questions answered
Can you do a hog roast in Inholms Clay Pit?
Only if the landowner, normally the council, allows it. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
What’s the nearest station to Holmwood Corner?
Holmwood Corner has its own station: Holmwood station.
Can you feed staff and families?
Yes. Include visitors in your numbers and we’ll plan for everyone.
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. We can often serve indoors if the venue agrees.
What’s included?
Pork, stuffing, apple sauce and crackling in a soft roll. Your quote lists any sides and extras.
Do you need power or water?
Not to cook, because the roaster is gas-fired. Let us know what’s on site.
How much does a hog roast cost?
It depends on numbers, the menu and how long we are on site. Send us the details and we’ll quote.
What happens in bad weather?
We cook under a gazebo, so rain isn’t a problem for the roast. A marquee, hall or barn for eating makes all the difference.
