- A firm surface, as winter grass can be soft
- A short route for our equipment
As a London location, Eel Pie Island is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and access takes planning: tell us about side or rear access, steps and parking for our vehicle.

Christmas hog roast in Eel Pie Island, carved to order
It’s dark before 4pm in December, so we set up in daylight and roast through the afternoon. The cooking area and path need lighting. We’re frequently asked to cater christmas family parties and club and society Christmas parties, with roast turkey, rotisserie chicken and crackling.
For Christmas parties in Eel Pie Island, the roaster needs a lit, covered spot outdoors, such as a yard, courtyard or garden. Plan access early. We bring the roaster, the cover and everything we need to cook and serve, and we pack away and leave the area as we found it.
