Common questions in South Heighton
Which station is closest to South Heighton?
The closest is Newhaven Town station, roughly 0.8 miles away.
Could you cook in Castle Hill?
Only if the landowner, generally the council, allows it. Ask them first.
Can we just hire the roaster?
We do, if you are happy to roast and carve yourself. We’ll explain the details with your quote.
Where does the hog roast go?
A flat, open spot outside, plus a step-free route to wheel the equipment in. A picture helps.
Does the roaster have to be outside?
It cooks outside, under a gazebo, on a level spot. Serving indoors is usually fine if the venue is happy.
Is it pay as you go?
That depends on the event. Tell us what you have in mind and we will talk it through.
Can you cater in South Heighton?
We do. Tell us the venue or postcode and we will check the date.
Can you work around our timings?
We’ll be as flexible as we can. Give us a contact on the day and we will fit around changes.
