Common questions in North Street
Is North Street too small for a hog roast?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
How far is North Street from London?
Roughly 51 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
What if things run late?
Because the roast takes hours, we plan from your serving time, and we can hold the roast for a while if the day runs behind.
Where will the roaster go?
In the grounds, never in the kitchen and away from opening windows.
Do you leave the area tidy?
We clear the serving area and pack away, and leave the area tidy.
Do residents have to eat rolls?
Plates are frequently easier for residents.
What do you need from us on the day?
A clear, level cooking spot, a route to wheel the equipment in and a contact for the day. We will bring the rest.
Can residents with swallowing difficulties have the hog roast?
Texture-modified meals should be prepared by the home’s kitchen to each resident’s plan. We’ll give your team the information they need.
Space, access and the venue
The cooking area is the main thing to plan. Check these:
- Clear of ambulance and delivery access
- An activities lead or manager as contact

If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise.
