Lingfield Common questions
Can you do a hog roast in Lingfield Wildlife Area?
Only if the landowner, generally the council, allows it. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
We are gathering after a service at Church of St Peter and St Paul: can you cater?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby with an outdoor spot for the roaster. Food is normally served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you will gather.
Do we need to wash up?
Yes, we clear up after service.
Can we just hire the roaster?
We do, if you are happy to roast and carve yourself. We will explain the details with your quote.
Do you need power or water?
No, the roast is cooked on gas. Tell us what’s available and we will plan around it.
What’s included?
Rolls with roast pork, stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. You can add lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options, salads, coleslaw and potatoes.
When do you start roasting?
A whole hog roasts for several hours, which is why we arrive hours ahead. We work back from your serving time.
What if things run late?
Within reason, we can. Keep us posted on the day and we’ll adjust.
