Common questions in Castle Town
How far is Castle Town from London?
About 44 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
Can you do a hog roast in Hillside Park (parke sa Hiniusang Gingharian)?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, typically the council, and many parks do not allow cooking. Ask them first.
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.
Where does the hog roast go?
Enough level ground outdoors for the roaster and a serving table under cover, plus a step-free route to wheel the equipment in. A picture helps.
Can you work around our timings?
We’ll be as flexible as we can. Keep us posted on the day and we will fit around changes.
