Questions from Holywell
Is Holywell close to London?
Roughly 54 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
Could you cook in Gildrege Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, typically the council, and many parks do not allow cooking. Check with them first.
What happens in bad weather?
Rain doesn’t stop the cooking. Somewhere covered for people to eat helps.
Can we hire the machine and cook it ourselves?
Yes, we hire out the hog roast machine. We will confirm what comes with it and how to use it.
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 frequently serve indoors if the venue agrees.
Do you leave the area tidy?
Our staff clear up after service, leaving the spot as we found it.
Do you cater open days with families?
Yes, a hog roast suits open days, with chicken and vegetarian options for visitors.
Do you offer gluten-free rolls?
We can supply gluten-free rolls on request. You’ll get allergen details for everything.
For planners, venues and organisers
For workplace bookings, check with facilities about gas equipment and vehicle access. We work to the site’s rules.
Venues frequently have rules for outside caterers, including where gas cooking is allowed. Ask early, and pass on anything they need from us.
What we serve, dish by dish
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Choose from salads, new potatoes, coleslaw and roast or jacket potatoes, depending on the season and the occasion.
Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
Let us know numbers for the vegan option, and we’ll plan the vegan burgers or sausages.
Planning for dietary needs
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. Here are a few tips:
- Give us vegetarian and vegan numbers
- Halal isn’t offered, so arrange it separately if needed
- Label the vegetarian and vegan food
- Put the allergen list where people can see it
If the schedule moves, tell us: we can hold the roast for a short time.
