FAQs for Locks Heath
Can you roast near the sea around Locks Heath?
Yes, of course. Wind is something we plan for: a sheltered spot and secure cover.
Which station is closest to Locks Heath?
Swanwick station, about 0.9 miles north of the centre.
Can you set up in our car park?
Most car parks and yards are fine, if there’s a level spot away from buildings and vehicles.
Is a hog roast smart enough for clients?
Yes. Add china, sides and a second roast for a more formal feel.
What if things run late?
Because the roast takes hours, we plan from your serving time, and we can hold the roast for a while if the day runs behind.
Do you bring plates?
Plates come as standard. If you’d like china, ask and we’ll add it to the quote.
What do people get?
Rolls with roast pork, stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. You can add lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options, salads, coleslaw and potatoes.
Do you need power or water?
The roaster runs on gas, so we do not need mains power to cook. Power can help with lighting after dark.
