Hale questions
What’s the nearest station to Hale?
Farnham station, about 1.3 miles south of the centre.
Could you cook in Weybourne LNR?
Only if the landowner, generally the council, allows it. Check with them first.
Do you do wrap parties?
Of course. Send us the details.
What’s included?
Roast pork carved into soft rolls with sage and onion stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. Extras include lamb, chicken, halloumi skewers, a vegan option, salads and potatoes.

The earlier the better for popular dates. But it’s always worth asking: send us your details through our quote form.
How long does a hog roast take to cook?
It depends on the size of the hog and the weather, but it’s several hours. You will know our arrival time in advance.
Can you serve at our lunch call?
That’s exactly how we work.
What do you need from us on the day?
A clear, level cooking spot, a route to wheel the equipment in and a contact for the day. We bring everything else.
What comes off the roaster
Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
Our vegan option is a vegan burger or sausage, in a roll, with salad on the side.
Crackling
Long, slow roasting turns the skin into crackling, and there’s a piece for everyone who wants it.
Step by step
We cook on a gas-fired roaster, so we do not need mains power to cook; a nearby socket helps with lights if service runs into the evening. At midsummer, daylight in Hale lasts until about 9:20pm, which suits an evening wrap at base.
