Parkhurst: your questions answered
Can you roast near the sea around Parkhurst?
Yes, of course. We roast under cover and choose a sheltered spot where we can.
Could you cook in Seaclose Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, typically the council, and many parks don’t allow cooking. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
How does payment work for businesses?
Send your requirements, and we will set out the terms with your quote.
Can you send documents for facilities?
Each site is different: pass on your list and we will respond.
Can you work around our timings?
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.
Can you set up in our car park?
Anywhere suitable and approved, outdoors and under cover.
How far ahead should we book?
Summer Saturdays and December book up first. Quieter dates can often be booked at shorter notice. Send your date and we’ll check.
What about staff who don’t eat pork?
We can add lamb or chicken, plus halloumi skewers for vegetarians and a vegan burger or sausage. We don’t provide halal meat.
What we serve, dish by dish
Roast pork
Everything starts with the slow-roasted pork: carved in front of you, a mix of shoulder and leg, straight from the roaster.
Crackling
Crackling takes hours to get right, and a whole hog roasted slowly gets it just right.
DIY versus a catered hog roast
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.
You could roast a hog yourself, but it is a long day’s work, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.

What the cooking area needs
The roaster needs the right spot, because it cooks outside for several hours, and a little planning goes a long way:
- Flat ground in a car park or courtyard
- Approval from facilities for gas equipment
- Access through the site gates
For somewhere as remote as Parkhurst, early notice helps us plan the trip.
