Your questions about a hog roast for your event in Barton on Sea
What about windy coastal sites?
Yes, of course. We roast under cover and choose a sheltered spot where we can.
Do you cater at venues in the New Forest National Park?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for caterers; ask your venue. We’ll work to whatever the site needs.
Is there a non-pork option?
Add lamb, chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers or a vegan option. Please note we do not offer halal meat.
What happens after service?
We clear the serving area and pack away, and leave the area tidy.
Is mains power needed?
The roaster runs on gas, so we do not need mains power to cook. Power can help with lighting after dark.
What do you need from the organiser?
Cooking is gas-fired. Power helps for lighting.
Can we hire the machine and cook it ourselves?
We do, if you are happy to roast and carve yourself. Ask and we’ll talk you through it.
Do you trade at school events?
Yes, with the school’s permission. Tell us the date and pitch.

- Share the event’s food safety requirements with us

At the end, we pack down and take our waste.
