- A short route for the equipment
- Space away from the building and any trees

Storrington: your questions answered
Could you cook in Parham Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, generally the council, and many parks don’t allow cooking. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
What’s the nearest station to Storrington?
The closest is Pulborough station, roughly 3.9 miles away.
Can you cater for vegetarians?
We can add lamb or chicken, plus halloumi skewers for vegetarians and a vegan burger or sausage. We don’t provide halal meat.
Can you roast in the rain?
We cook under a gazebo, so rain is not a problem for the roast. Somewhere covered for people to eat helps.
Do you serve the food?
You don’t need anyone else: we carve, serve and tidy up.
Is it a sit-down meal?
Both are possible: plates with sides or simple rolls.
Can you be flexible on serving time?
We work back from when you want to eat, and we can hold the roast for a while if the day runs behind.
How big a hog will we need?
The roast is chosen to suit how many you are feeding, so a good estimate matters. We will confirm the menu in the quote.
