Your questions about a hog roast for your party in Funtley
Can you roast near the sea around Funtley?
Yes. We roast under cover and choose a sheltered spot where we can.
Which station is closest to Funtley?
Fareham station, about 1.4 miles south-east of the centre.
What happens in bad weather?
The roaster is under cover, so a shower does not stop us. Plan somewhere sheltered for eating.
How long does a hog roast take to cook?
Several hours, depending on the size and the weather, so we arrive well before you want to eat. We work back from your serving time.
Should we warn the neighbours?
Let them know in advance.
What space does the roaster need?
A flat, open spot outside, and a way to wheel everything in. A photo helps.
What comes with the hog roast?
Pork, stuffing, apple sauce and crackling in a soft roll. Sides and extra meats are listed in your quote.
What should we sort out beforehand?
A clear, level cooking spot, a route to wheel the equipment in and a contact for the day. We will bring the rest.
DIY versus a catered hog roast
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you, especially outdoors.
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.

Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
