FAQs for Haggerston
Can you do a hog roast in Haggerston Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, normally the council, and many parks do not allow cooking. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
Can you get a hog roast into a London garden in Haggerston?
It depends on access: a rear gate or yard normally works. Tell us about steps, gates and parking and we’ll advise.
Can you work around our timings?
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.
What comes with the hog roast?
The classic: pork in rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. Sides and extra meats are listed in your quote.
What about texture-modified diets?
Modified meals should come from your kitchen. We’ll share allergen and menu details.
How far ahead should we book?
The earlier the better for popular dates. But it’s always worth asking: use our quote form.
Do you come to Haggerston?
We do. Send us the address and we will confirm availability.
