Furzedown questions
Can you get a hog roast into a London garden in Furzedown?
It depends on access: a rear gate or yard usually works. Tell us about steps, gates and parking and we will advise.
Which station is closest to Furzedown?
Tooting station, about 0.6 miles south-west of the centre.
How long does the roast need?
Hours rather than minutes. We will confirm our arrival time when we quote.
Can you cater for vegetarians?
Add lamb, chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers or a vegan option. Please note we do not offer halal meat.
How much room do you need?
A flat, open spot outside, and a way to wheel everything in. Send us a photo if you’re unsure.
Can you carve thinly?
Plates with thin slices are easy to arrange.
Where do you cook at a care home?
Always outside, agreed with the manager.
Can you be flexible on serving time?
We work back from when you want to eat, and we can hold the roast for a while if the day runs behind.
Organising for someone else?
For venues and planners, we can fit around your other suppliers, sharing timings and a site plan.
Marquee suppliers usually set distances for cooking equipment, so let them know about the roaster. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.

- A named contact on the day

- A dining room, lounge or shaded garden

If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before booking.
