FAQs for Carshalton
What if our house in Carshalton has no side access?
It depends on access: a rear gate or yard generally works. Tell us about steps, gates and parking and we will advise.
Can you do a hog roast in Carshalton Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, normally the council, and many parks do not allow cooking. Ask them first.
Should we choose a hog roast or a barbecue?
It depends on your guests: if most eat pork and you want a centrepiece, a hog roast; if you want variety, a barbecue. Tell us about the event and we will suggest one.
Do you need a kitchen at the venue?
No. We cook outdoors under cover: we just need a level, open spot outside.
Do you bring plates?
Plates are included. You can upgrade to china if you prefer.
How much will it be?
Numbers, menu and travel decide the price. Send us the details and we’ll quote.
What kind of caterers are you?
We cook on site at your event: a hog roast, a barbecue or both, with vegetarian and vegan options. We serve and tidy up.
Can we put you in touch with our venue?
Yes. Give us their contact details and we’ll agree the details with them.
Planning the cooking spot
Most outdoor spaces can work for our catering if a few things are right. Here’s what we look for:
- A level, open spot outdoors to cook
- A green light from whoever owns the site
- A gazebo, marquee or room indoors as a back-up
As a London location, Carshalton is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and access takes planning: let us know how we reach the cooking spot and where we can park.
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.
