Common questions in Mapesbury
Can you get a hog roast into a London garden in Mapesbury?
Often, if there is a rear gate, a front garden or a yard we can use. Send us a photo and we’ll tell you honestly.
Could you cook in St. Raphael's Edible Garden?
Only if the landowner, generally the council, allows it. Ask them first.
Do we need to provide electricity?
Cooking is gas-fired, so no mains power is needed for the roast. A socket nearby is useful for lighting.
Can you cook inside a hall or marquee?
It cooks outside, under a gazebo, on a level spot. The food can be carried in and served indoors where the venue allows.
Do you clear up?
Our staff clear up after service, and leave the area tidy.
Can you work around our timings?
We’ll be as flexible as we can. Keep us posted on the day and we will adjust.
How do you handle allergies?
Every dish comes with allergen information for your team to check.
How much room do you need?
A flat, open spot outside, plus a step-free route to wheel the equipment in. A picture helps.
About the food
Roast pork
Everything starts with the slow-roasted pork: carved thick or thin, as people like it, straight from the roaster.
Rotisserie chicken
Chicken off the rotisserie, carved or jointed can be served in a roll or on a plate.
Planning the cooking spot
Planning the cooking spot is the key. A quick checklist:
- A level outdoor area
- A spot that keeps access clear
- The manager’s agreement to a gas-fired roaster
As a London location, Mapesbury is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and access takes planning: let us know how we reach the cooking spot and where we can park.
Not sure about the cooking spot? Send us a photo and we will tell you honestly.

Planning for dietary needs
Allergies and dietary needs are easy to manage if we know in advance. Tips:
- Include staff and visitors in your numbers
- Plan separately for halal if needed
- Modified diets should come from the home’s kitchen
- Ask us to carve thinly for residents
We set up under cover in the grounds, following the home’s procedures.
Gluten-free rolls are available on request.
How the day works
Service is quick once we start carving: our chef carves and our staff fill the rolls or plates, with the sides served alongside. Afterwards we clear the serving area and pack away. Late-September sunset in Mapesbury is about 7:05pm, so we suggest a lunchtime serving in autumn.
- The home tells us the date, numbers and serving time.
- We agree the cooking spot, clear of emergency access, and quote.
- On the day we set up outdoors and roast through the morning.
- The chef carves and our staff serve residents.
- We tidy up and leave calmly.
How to prepare
- Measure the narrowest gate or passage
- Confirm numbers ahead of the day
- Check there’s a route to wheel the equipment in, without steps
