Your questions about a hog roast for your event in Dormansland
Can you come to a school fair in Dormansland?
Yes, with the school’s permission. Send us the date and where the roaster would go.
Can you do a hog roast in Centenary Fields?
Only if the landowner, generally the council, allows it. Ask them first.
Do you offer gluten-free rolls?
Ask for gluten-free rolls and we will bring them. We’ll give you full allergen information for every dish.
What should we sort out beforehand?
Just the agreed spot and a contact on the day. Everything for roasting and serving comes with us.
Can you roast in the rain?
We cook under a gazebo, so rain is not a problem for the roast. A marquee, hall or barn for eating makes all the difference.
Who serves?
No need for your own staff: we carve, serve and tidy up.
What do you need from the organiser?
Just a pitch, access and any agreed paperwork. We bring the rest.
When should we book?
Popular dates go early. But do ask even at short notice: use our quote form.
