Your questions about a hog roast for the crew in Hollington
Could you cook in Old Roar Gill and Coronation Wood?
Only if the landowner, typically the council, allows it. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
Which station is closest to Hollington?
The closest is St Leonards Warrior Square station, roughly 1.4 miles away.
Do you do wrap parties?
Of course. Send us the details.
Does the roaster have to be outside?
No, the roast is always cooked outdoors under cover, at a safe distance from walls and tents. Serving inside is frequently possible, with the venue’s agreement.
Is mains power needed?
The roaster runs on gas, so we don’t need mains power to cook. Power can help with lighting after dark.
Do you go to remote locations?
Generally, with good directions and access details. Tell us about tracks and ground.
Can you roast in the rain?
The roaster is under cover, so a shower does not stop us. Your crew will want somewhere dry to eat.
Do you leave the area tidy?
Our staff clear up after service, and leave the area tidy.
