Your questions about a hog roast day in Luton
What’s the nearest station to Luton?
Chatham station, about 1 mile north-west of the centre.
Could you cook in Gillingham Park?
Only if the landowner, typically the council, allows it. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
Is mains power needed?
Cooking is gas-fired, so no mains power is needed for the roast. A socket nearby is useful for lighting.
Can we hire the machine and cook it ourselves?
We do, if you’re happy to roast and carve yourself. Ask and we will talk you through it.
When do you start roasting?
A whole hog roasts for several hours, so we arrive well before you want to eat. We work back from your serving time.
Who serves?
Our chef carves and our staff serve, then clear the serving area afterwards.
Can residents with swallowing difficulties have the hog roast?
We don’t prepare texture-modified meals; we’ll work alongside your kitchen.
What allergens are in the food?
Every dish comes with allergen information for your team to check.
Working with your venue
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so check before you book. We will work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.
For venues and planners, we’re happy to work alongside your team.
