Stanmore: your questions answered
Which station is closest to Stanmore?
The closest is Harrow & Wealdstone station, roughly 1.9 miles away.
Can you do a hog roast in Canons Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, typically the council, and many parks do not allow cooking. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
Can you do soft food?
We don’t prepare texture-modified meals; we will work alongside your kitchen.
Can you cater in Stanmore?
Yes. We cater across London and the South East, including Stanmore and Greater London. Tell us the venue and we will quote.
Who serves?
We carve and serve for you, then clear the serving area afterwards.
Does the roaster have to be outside?
The roaster always stays outside, under cover, away from buildings and marquee walls. We can frequently serve indoors if the venue agrees.
Can families and staff join in?
Of course: include them in your numbers.
What if things run late?
Within reason, we can. Keep us posted on the day and we will adjust.
For event organisers in Stanmore
Some venues add a fee for outside caterers, so it’s worth asking first. We’ll work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.
Marquee hire companies often have rules about cooking near their tents, so let them know about the roaster. We will keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.

About the food
Roast pork
Our chef carves the pork as it is needed, which keeps it hot and moist.
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Salads, new potatoes, coleslaw and roast or jacket potatoes turn rolls into a full meal, especially at a sit-down event.
Planning the cooking spot
Most gardens, car parks, yards and fields work if a few things are right. Here’s what we look for:
- Flat ground in the grounds
- Sign-off from management
- An activities lead or manager as contact
As a London location, Stanmore is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and access takes planning: tell us about side or rear access, steps and parking for our vehicle.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before booking.

For a summer hog roast day in Stanmore, residents can enjoy the garden in daylight until about 9:20pm, which makes garden events easy. In winter, dark by about 3:55pm, a lunchtime event is better.

Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Compared with a buffet, hot carved pork on a plate is easier to manage for many residents. For larger numbers, a hog roast is typically good value, since one roast goes a long way. Extras, china and longer service add to it.
