Eastergate: your questions answered
Can you roast near the sea around Eastergate?
Yes, of course. We roast under cover and choose a sheltered spot where we can.
Is Eastergate too small for a hog roast?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
Can you cook inside a hall or marquee?
Outside, always. The food can be carried in and served indoors where the venue allows.
How much will it be?
Each event is priced on its own, depending on numbers, menu, timings and travel. Ask us for a quote.
Do you leave the area tidy?
Our staff clear the serving area, so you are not left with the mess.
What about locations off the beaten track?
Send the location and access notes and we’ll confirm.
Is crockery included?
We supply plates as standard. China is available at an extra cost.
Do we need to provide electricity?
Not to cook, because the roaster is gas-fired. Let us know what’s on site.

Organisers may ask for documents such as a risk assessment or gas safety information. Let us know what your event requires and we’ll tell you what we can send.
