Planning an event in Elm Park?
Planners, venues and businesses
Marquee hire companies frequently have rules about cooking near their tents, so let them know about the roaster. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.
Venues frequently have rules for outside caterers, including where gas cooking is allowed. Ask early, and tell us what they ask for.
Christmas hog roast in Elm Park, slow-roasted on site
It is dark before 4pm in December, so we set up in daylight and roast through the afternoon. The cooking area and path need lighting. Typical bookings include end-of-term celebrations and winter open days, with crackling, roast potatoes and apple sauce.
London Christmas parties in Elm Park are frequently at offices, pubs with a courtyard or homes with a garden. Let us know about lighting and the way in. Timings are planned around your Christmas party, working back from when you want to eat.

Before you choose a spot
Before the day, it helps to think about where the roaster will go. We look for:
- Space away from buildings, marquees and trees
- Light by the serving table
- Somewhere warm and dry for guests to eat
As a London location, Elm Park is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and access takes planning: 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 will advise.
