Your questions about a hog roast day in Surrey Quays
Can you do a hog roast in Deptford Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, normally the council, and many parks do not allow cooking. Ask them first.
What if our house in Surrey Quays has no side access?
It depends on access: a rear gate or yard normally works. Send us a picture and we’ll tell you honestly.
Do you clear up?
Our staff clear up after service, and leave the area tidy.
What should we sort out beforehand?
A clear, level cooking spot, a route to wheel the equipment in and a contact for the day. We’ll bring the rest.
What if it rains?
We roast under cover, so the food isn’t affected. Plan somewhere sheltered for eating.
Will there be enough to go round?
The roast is chosen to suit how many you are feeding, so tell us your best estimate. We’ll confirm the menu in the quote.
Can you do soft food?
We don’t prepare texture-modified meals; your team prepares those portions.
What space does the roaster need?
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.
What happens on the day
On the day, we set up the roaster on the agreed spot, put the cover up and start the roast. From there it cooks low and slow for hours, timed so it is ready when you want to eat. Winter afternoons in Surrey Quays are short, with sunset at about 3:55pm, so winter hog roast days are best kept to lunchtime.

Your quote depends on:

For a quick, accurate price, send us:
- Which meats and sides you’d like

Organising for someone else?
