Your questions about a hog roast for your event in Bull Hill
Can you roast near the sea around Bull Hill?
Yes, of course. Wind is something we plan for: a sheltered spot and secure cover.
Which station is closest to Bull Hill?
Lymington Town station, about 1.8 miles south-west of the centre.
Do you need power or water?
Cooking is gas-fired, so no mains power is needed for the roast. A socket nearby is useful for lighting.

What about visitors who don’t eat pork?
Add lamb, chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers or a vegan option. We don’t offer halal meat.
Can you come to a PTA fair?
Yes, if the school agrees. Send us the details.
How the day works
Service is quick once we start carving: our chef carves and our staff fill the rolls or plates, and sides go out at the same time. Afterwards we clear the serving area and pack away. Late-May events in Bull Hill have light until about 8:55pm, and midsummer ones until about 9:25pm. Evening festivals need lighting by the stall after that.

- We carve rolls to order as the queue moves.
