Space, access and the venue
Most gardens, car parks, yards and fields work with a little planning. Here’s what helps:
- A spot that keeps access clear
- Away from windows that open and residents’ rooms
- The manager’s agreement to a gas-fired roaster
Waterloo is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and access can be tight: 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’ll advise.

Your questions about a hog roast day in Waterloo
What’s the nearest station to Waterloo?
Waterloo has its own station: London Waterloo station.
Can you get a hog roast into a London garden in Waterloo?
It depends on access: a rear gate or yard usually works. Tell us about steps, gates and parking and we will advise.
What happens in bad weather?
The roaster is under cover, so a shower does not stop us. Your residents will want somewhere dry to eat.
Can you work around our timings?
Because the roast takes hours, we plan from your serving time, and we can hold the roast for a while if the day runs behind.
Can visitors eat too?
It works well as a day with families.
Where do you cook at a care home?
Always outside, agreed with the manager.
Can you cater in Waterloo?
Yes. We cater across London and the South East, Waterloo and the rest of Greater London included. Send us the address for a quote.
Do you need power or water?
The roaster runs on gas, so we do not need mains power to cook. A socket nearby is useful for lighting.
The process
We cook on a gas-fired roaster, so cooking does not depend on mains power; a nearby socket helps with lights if service runs into the evening. Late-September sunset in Waterloo is about 7:05pm, so autumn events are best at lunchtime.
- We plan with your manager and kitchen.
- You get a clear price.
- We cook in the grounds.
- We carve thinly and serve on plates.
- We leave the grounds tidy.
Before we arrive
- Pick a flat, open area outside for cooking

How to get a price
It is easy to get a price: tell us when, where, how many and what time you’d like to eat. We will reply with a clear price and what’s included. Send us your details through our quote form.
