Old Oak Common questions
What if our house in Old Oak Common has no side access?
It depends on access: a rear gate or yard normally works. Send us a photo and we will tell you honestly.
Can you do a hog roast in Little Wormwood Scrubs?
Only if the landowner, normally the council, allows it. Check with them first.
What if it rains?
We cook under a gazebo, so rain isn’t a problem for the roast. Somewhere covered for people to eat helps.

We do. Tell us the venue or postcode and we’ll check the date.
How far ahead should we book?
The earlier the better for popular dates. But it’s always worth asking: use our quote form.

A level, open area outdoors with room for the roaster, a gazebo and a carving table, well clear of walls, tents and branches. We will confirm the space with your quote.

Allergies and dietary needs are easy to manage if we know in advance. Some ideas:
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten
- Plan separately for halal if needed
- Share residents’ dietary needs with us in good time
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed
The roaster stays clear of busy paths and windows.
Plates rather than rolls suit many residents.
