About the food
Roast pork
The hog roasts slowly for hours, so the meat is tender and juicy, and our chef carves it to order.
Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
Our vegan option is a vegan burger or sausage, served in a roll with salads.
Space, access and the venue
Most outdoor spaces can work if a few things are right. Here’s what we look for:
- A named contact on the day
- Flat ground in the grounds

As a London location, Pratt's Bottom 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.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before you book.
