Your questions about a hog roast for your event in Sompting
Can you do a hog roast in Brooklands Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, usually the council, and many parks do not allow cooking. Check with them first.
What about windy coastal sites?
Yes. We roast under cover and choose a sheltered spot where we can.
Do you cover Sompting?
We do. Tell us the venue or postcode and we will confirm availability.
Does the roaster have to be outside?
No, the roast is always cooked outdoors under cover, away from buildings and marquee walls. Serving inside is often possible, with the venue’s agreement.
How do you work out quantities?
We size the roast to your numbers, so a good estimate matters. We’ll confirm the menu in the quote.
Who serves?
Our chef carves and our staff serve, and we clear up when service is finished.
Can you do a school fair?
We do. Check vehicle access with the school.
Do you offer gluten-free rolls?
Gluten-free rolls are available on request. Stuffing typically contains gluten, so check the allergen information.
