Common questions in Bull Hill
What about windy coastal sites?
Yes, of course. We roast under cover and choose a sheltered spot where we can.
Do you come out to small places like Bull Hill?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
How long does a hog roast take to cook?
Several hours, depending on the size and the weather, which is why we arrive hours ahead. We plan the timings from when you want to eat.
Can you cater for vegetarians?
We can add lamb or chicken, plus halloumi skewers for vegetarians and a vegan burger or sausage. Halal meat isn’t something we offer.
How soon do you get booked up?
Popular dates go early. But do ask even at short notice: send us your details through our quote form.
How much room do you need?
A level, open area outdoors with room for the roaster, a gazebo and a carving table, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging trees. We will check it with you before booking.
Can you roast in the rain?
We roast under cover, so the food is not affected. Plan somewhere sheltered for eating.
Do you do DIY hog roast hire?
Yes, we hire out the hog roast machine. We’ll confirm what comes with it and how to use it.
