Common questions in Lucas Green
How far is Lucas Green from London?
Roughly 26 miles from the centre of London.
Can you do a hog roast in Bisley and West End Commons?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, typically the council, and many parks don’t allow cooking. Check with them first.
What do you need from us on the day?
Only the space and a contact number. We bring the roaster, cover and serving kit.
How much does a hog roast cost?
Each event is priced on its own, depending on numbers, menu, timings and travel. Tell us about your care home event for a quote.
Do you leave the area tidy?
We clear the serving area and pack away, leaving the spot as we found it.
Do you provide china?
Plates come as standard. If you’d like china, ask and we will add it to the quote.
Can relatives eat with residents?
It works well as a day with families; just tell us total numbers.
How long does the roast need?
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.
Before you choose a spot
A hog roast cooks outdoors for hours, so the spot matters, so a few things are worth checking:
- A named contact on the day
- Away from windows that open and residents’ rooms
- Seating for residents
