Could you cook in Stoneyfields Park?

About the food
Crackling
For many people, the crackling is the best bit: golden, crunchy and salty, straight off the hog.
Spit-roast lamb
Spit-roast lamb cooks slowly like the hog, carved to order at the serving station, frequently with mint sauce.
Is a hog roast right for your shoot?
Compared with a barbecue, one roast serves everyone together. Compare like for like: the menu, sides, service time, staffing, crockery and travel. A cheaper headline price can leave things out.
