FAQs for Stanmer
Can you do a hog roast in Stanmer Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, usually the council, and many parks don’t allow cooking. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
Do you trade at school fairs around Stanmer?
Yes, with the school’s permission. Send us the date and where the roaster would go.
Do you need power on site?
Just a pitch, access and any agreed paperwork. We bring the rest.
What happens after service?
Our staff clear the serving area, and we take our equipment with us.
How big a hog will we need?
Quantities are based on your numbers, and we will confirm everything in writing.
How do we prepare?
Just the agreed spot and a contact on the day. Everything for roasting and serving comes with us.
Do you come to Stanmer?
We do. Tell us the venue or postcode and we will confirm availability.
Is it pay as you go?
Some events pay for a package, others want a stall. We will work it out together.
Full catering or machine hire?
Catered or DIY? With catering, our chef roasts, carves and serves, and our staff clear up. With hire only, you do the cooking yourself.
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.
For event organisers in Stanmer
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so it is worth asking first. We’ll liaise with them on access and set-up.
Organisers may ask for documents such as a risk assessment or gas safety information. Tell us what you need and we will confirm what we can provide.
