Questions from Lingfield
Can you do a hog roast at a venue in the High Weald National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about cooking and vehicles, so check with yours. We’ll work to whatever the site needs.
Can you do a hog roast in Centenary Fields?
Only if the landowner, usually the council, allows it. Ask them first.

Roughly the footprint of a gazebo or two, on level ground, well clear of walls, tents and branches. We will confirm the space with your quote.
Do you serve the food?
Our chef carves and our staff serve, and we clear up when service is finished.
