FAQs for Lower Kingswood
Can you do a hog roast in Eyhurst Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, usually the council, and many parks do not allow cooking. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
Do you come out to small places like Lower Kingswood?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
Do you have documents for locations?
Send us your requirements, and we’ll tell you what we can send.
What’s the price?
Each event is priced on its own, depending on numbers, menu, timings and travel. Tell us about your shoot for a quote.
Do we need to provide electricity?
No, the roast is cooked on gas. Let us know what’s on site.
How much room do you need?
Roughly the footprint of a gazebo or two, on level ground, well clear of walls, tents and branches. We’ll confirm the space with your quote.
Do you need much space at base?
Usually, if there’s a level, open spot for the roaster under cover. We’ll agree it with your location manager.
When do you start roasting?
A whole hog roasts for several hours, so we arrive well before you want to eat. We work back from your serving time.
