Barrowhill questions
Can you do a hog roast in Sandling Park?
Only if the landowner, normally the council, allows it. Ask them first.
Is Barrowhill too small for a hog roast?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Is crockery included?
We bring plates as standard. China crockery is available on request and quoted separately.
Can you be flexible on serving time?
We’ll be as flexible as we can. Give us a contact on the day and we’ll fit around changes.
Do we need to wash up?
We bring plates and clear up after service.
How do we prepare?
Only the space and a contact number. We bring the roaster, cover and serving kit.
Do you bring a gazebo?
We cover the cooking area, but a gazebo or indoor space for guests is a good backup.
Who serves?
No need for your own staff: we carve, serve and tidy up.
