Wimbledon Park questions
What’s the nearest station to Wimbledon Park?
Earlsfield station, about 1 mile north-east of the centre.
Can you get a hog roast into a London garden in Wimbledon Park?
Frequently, if there is a rear gate, a front garden or a yard we can use. Tell us about steps, gates and parking and we’ll advise.
Can you roast in the rain?
We roast under cover, so the food isn’t affected. Your residents will want somewhere dry to eat.
Do residents have to eat rolls?
Plates with thin slices are easy to arrange.
Can you do soft food?
Texture-modified meals should be prepared by the home’s kitchen to each resident’s plan. We’ll share allergen and menu details.
Do you serve the food?
Our chef carves and our staff serve, then clear the serving area afterwards.
Do you cover Wimbledon Park?
Yes, Wimbledon Park is in our area. Tell us the venue or postcode and we will check the date.
Can we just hire the roaster?
Yes, we hire out the hog roast machine. We’ll confirm what comes with it and how to use it.
Organising for someone else?
For events on land you do not own, such as a park or field, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
Event organisers often ask caterers for paperwork such as a risk assessment. Let us know what your event requires and we’ll confirm what we can provide.
A closer look at the menu
Stuffing and apple sauce
Sage and onion stuffing and apple sauce are the classic partners, balancing the rich, salty pork.
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Sides include salads, coleslaw, new potatoes and roast or jacket potatoes, to suit your event.
Step by step
Your timings come first. If the day runs behind, we can hold the cooked roast for a while before carving, so tell us as soon as plans change. In Wimbledon Park, December daylight ends around 3:55pm, so a lunchtime serving suits winter.

- We set up outdoors, clear of access routes.
- We carve thinly and serve on plates.
- We leave the grounds tidy.
Getting ready for the day
