Strand-on-the-Green questions

What if our house in Strand-on-the-Green has no side access?

It depends on access: a rear gate or yard usually works. Tell us about steps, gates and parking and we will advise.

Could you cook in Kew Green?

Only with permission from the park’s owner, generally the council, and many parks do not allow cooking. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.

Do you serve the food?

We carve and serve for you, and we clear up when service is finished.

What about coeliacs?

Ask for gluten-free rolls and we will bring them. We’ll give you full allergen information for every dish.

Can we hire the machine and cook it ourselves?

DIY machine hire is available. We’ll explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.

Do you provide china?

Plates come as standard. China crockery is available on request and quoted separately.

Do you need power or water?

No, the roast is cooked on gas. Tell us what’s available and we’ll plan around it.

What if it rains?

We cook under a gazebo, so rain is not a problem for the roast. Somewhere covered for people to eat helps.

How it works

Expect a calm, organised set-up. We agree arrival and serving times in advance, use the cooking spot you’ve chosen, and get on with roasting and serving. Late May in Strand-on-the-Green has light until about 8:55pm, so a spring hog roast day can carry on into the evening.

Planning the cooking spot

The roaster needs the right spot, because it cooks outside for several hours, so a few things are worth checking:

Clear of bedroom windows
A level spot in the garden or car park
Seating for residents

Strand-on-the-Green is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and access can be tight: let us know how we reach the cooking spot and where we can park.

Organising for someone else?

For events on land you don’t own, such as a park or field, you will need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.

Booking for a club or group? A single point of contact keeps things simple, particularly when timings shift.

Prices and what affects them

The price comes down to:

The number of people
Distance from us
How easy it is to reach the spot
Time on site

Adding lamb, chicken, extra sides or china changes the price, so we list each one in the quote. A simple menu keeps the cost down.
