Questions from Mortlake
What’s the nearest station to Mortlake?
Mortlake has its own station: Mortlake station.
Can you do a hog roast in Palewell Park?
Only if the landowner, generally the council, allows it. Check with them first.
What happens in bad weather?
Rain does not stop the cooking. Somewhere covered for people to eat helps.
Do you come to Mortlake?
Yes, Mortlake is in our area. Tell us the venue or postcode and we’ll check the date.
How long does a hog roast take to cook?
Several hours, depending on the size and the weather, so we arrive well before you want to eat. We plan the timings from when you want to eat.
Can you work around our timings?
Within reason, we can. Give us a contact on the day and we’ll adjust.
Where does the hog roast go?
Roughly the footprint of a gazebo or two, on level ground, well clear of walls, tents and branches. We will confirm the space with your quote.
Do you cook in the kitchen?
Always outside, in a spot you approve.
What happens on the day
Rain doesn’t stop the roast, because we cook under cover. It’s worth planning a sheltered place for people to eat, too. Winter afternoons in Mortlake are short, with sunset at about 3:55pm, so winter hog roast days are best kept to lunchtime.
- You tell us when, how many and where.
- We confirm the spot with your manager and quote.
- On the day we set up outdoors and roast through the morning.
- We serve in the dining room or garden, as you prefer.
- We clear away quietly and leave the grounds tidy.
Getting ready for the day
- Make sure we can wheel the roaster to the spot
- Gather dietary requirements early
- Plan somewhere sheltered for people to eat if it rains
