FAQs for Barkingside
Which station is closest to Barkingside?
The closest is Seven Kings station, roughly 1.6 miles away.
Can you get a hog roast into a London garden in Barkingside?
It depends on access: a rear gate or yard usually works. Send us a photo and we will tell you honestly.
Will there be enough to go round?
We plan quantities from the numbers you give us, and we’ll confirm everything in writing.
Do you cook in the kitchen?
In the grounds, never in the kitchen.
What comes with the hog roast?
Rolls with roast pork, stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. Extras include lamb, chicken, halloumi skewers, a vegan option, salads and potatoes.
Can you do soft food?
Texture-modified meals should be prepared by the home’s kitchen to each resident’s plan. We will give your team the information they need.
Is crockery included?
Plates are included. China is available at an extra cost.
What if things run late?
Because the roast takes hours, we plan from your serving time, and a cooked roast can be held for a while if things run late.
Prices and what affects them

What comes off the roaster
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw

Stuffing and apple sauce
Sharp, sweet apple sauce and savoury sage and onion stuffing go with the pork perfectly. Note that stuffing typically contains gluten.

- We agree the cooking spot and quote.
- The roast starts early.
- We carve and serve where you choose.
- We clear away quietly.
Getting ready for the day
- Tell us about narrow gates or side passages
- Keep the spot clear of buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches
- Give us final numbers a week or so before
