Hook Park Estate: your questions answered
Can you do a hog roast in Hamble Common?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, normally the council, and many parks do not allow cooking. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
What about windy coastal sites?
Yes, of course. We roast under cover and choose a sheltered spot where we can.
Does the roaster have to be outside?
It cooks outside, under a gazebo, on a level spot. Serving indoors is typically fine if the venue is happy.
What space does the roaster need?
Roughly the footprint of a gazebo or two, on level ground, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging trees. We’ll confirm the space with your quote.
Do you serve the food?
We carve and serve for you, and we clear up when service is finished.
Can you do gluten-free?
Ask for gluten-free rolls and we will bring them. You will get allergen details for everything.
Can you serve at our lunch call?
Yes. Tell us the lunch time and a contact on the day, and we’ll be ready.
What happens after service?
We clear the serving area and pack away, and leave the area tidy.
- Slow-roasted on site for hours, outdoors at your event
