What else we do in Hangleton
Your questions about a hog roast for the wake in Hangleton
Could you cook in Clapham Wood?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, typically the council, and many parks do not allow cooking. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
Can you roast near the sea around Hangleton?
Yes. Wind is something we plan for: a sheltered spot and secure cover.
Do you serve the food?
We carve and serve for you, and we clear up when service is finished.
What’s included?
The classic: pork in rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. Sides and extra meats are listed in your quote.
Can you cook inside a hall or marquee?
The roaster always stays outside, under cover, away from buildings and marquee walls. We can frequently serve indoors if the venue agrees.
What should we sort out beforehand?
Only the space and a contact number. We bring the roaster, cover and serving kit.
Is mains power needed?
The roaster runs on gas, so we don’t need mains power to cook. A socket nearby is useful for lighting.
Is crockery included?
We supply plates as standard. You can upgrade to china if you prefer.
Prices and what affects them
The price comes down to:
- Site access
- Travel to Hangleton
- Plates or china
- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
Adding lamb, chicken, extra sides or china changes the price, so each one is itemised. Keeping it simple keeps it affordable.
What to tell us
Good details mean a good quote. Please include:
- Rules from the venue or landowner
- Where the roaster could go, ideally with a picture
- The date and time of the event
- Any dietary needs or allergies
Tell us your date, venue or postcode and roughly how many people, plus when you’d like to eat. We’ll confirm availability and send a price. Fill in our quote form.
For event organisers in Hangleton
Some venues add a fee for outside caterers, so it’s worth asking first. We will liaise with them on access and set-up.
Event organisers often ask caterers for paperwork such as a risk assessment. Let us know what your event requires and we’ll tell you what we can send.
