Upper Norwood: your questions answered
What if our house in Upper Norwood has no side access?
It depends on access: a rear gate or yard generally works. Send us a photo and we will tell you honestly.
Can you do a hog roast in Long Meadow?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, generally the council, and many parks do not allow cooking. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
Do you leave the area tidy?
Our staff clear the serving area, and we take our equipment with us.
What about coeliacs?
We can supply gluten-free rolls on request. We will give you full allergen information for every dish.
When should we book?
The earlier the better for popular dates. But it’s always worth asking: fill in our quote form.
Can families and staff join in?
It works well as a day with families.
Do you serve the food?
We carve and serve for you, and we clear up when service is finished.
Where does the hog roast go?
Roughly the footprint of a gazebo or two, on level ground, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging trees. We will confirm the space with your quote.
Looking after everyone
A hog roast is pork, so plan for anyone who doesn’t eat it. Some ways to look after everyone:
- Plan separately for halal if needed
- Ask the kitchen to prepare texture-modified portions
- Ask us to carve thinly for residents
- Count families and staff too
Give us a contact, such as the activities lead.
China crockery is available on request, quoted separately.
For event organisers in Upper Norwood
If the event is on someone else’s land, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
Marquee hire companies frequently have rules about cooking near their tents, so tell them a hog roast is coming. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.
Space, access and the venue
Planning the cooking spot is the key. Check these:
- An activities lead or manager as contact
- Away from opening windows
- Away from emergency routes
As a London location, Upper Norwood is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and access takes planning: tell us about side or rear access, steps and parking for our vehicle.

The process
Expect a calm, organised set-up. Arrival and serving times are agreed beforehand, set up where we’ve agreed, and get on with roasting and serving. In summer, Upper Norwood has daylight until about 9:20pm, so an afternoon in the garden works well. In December, with dark by about 3:55pm, lunchtime is best.
- A date and rough headcount from the home gets things started.
- Photos of the grounds help us choose a safe spot.
- Your kitchen team tells us about diets and textures.
- On the day the hog roasts outside while residents watch from the lounge or garden.
- After serving, we clear away without disturbing the home.
Preparing for the day
- Think about shelter for your residents
- Tell us about narrow gates or side passages
- Make sure the cooking area is away from walls, tents and trees
