FAQs for Purley
What’s the nearest station to Purley?
Purley station, in Purley itself.
Can you get a hog roast into a London garden in Purley?
Often, if there’s a rear gate, a front garden or a yard we can use. Send us a photo and we will tell you honestly.
Can we hire the machine and cook it ourselves?
Yes, we hire out the hog roast machine. We will explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
Can you cook inside a hall or marquee?
The roaster always stays outside, under cover, at a safe distance from walls and tents. Serving inside is often possible, with the venue’s agreement.
Do you leave the area tidy?
We pack everything away after service, and we take our equipment with us.
When should we book?
The earlier the better for popular dates. But it’s always worth asking: use our quote form.
Can you cater in Purley?
We do. Tell us the venue or postcode and we’ll check the date.
Is mains power needed?
Cooking is gas-fired, so no mains power is needed for the roast. A socket nearby is useful for lighting.
The process
The roaster cooks outdoors, on a level, open spot under cover, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches. We’ll agree the spot with you beforehand. Late May in Purley has light until about 8:50pm, so a spring hog roast day can carry on into the evening.
- A date and rough headcount from the home gets things started.
- We look at photos of the garden or car park and suggest a cooking spot.
- Your kitchen team tells us about diets and textures.
- Residents can see and smell the roast from the morning.
- Lunch is carved and served, and we pack away quietly afterwards.
Preparing for the day
- Have a covered area for eating in case of rain
- Name a contact for the day
- Have a level outdoor spot ready
