Questions from Hackney Marshes
Which station is closest to Hackney Marshes?
Lea Bridge station, about 0.7 miles north-west of the centre.
Can you do a hog roast in Leyton Jubilee Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, normally the council, and many parks don’t allow cooking. Check with them first.
What’s the price?
Numbers, menu and travel decide the price. Tell us your date and we’ll send a price.
Do you leave the area tidy?
We pack everything away after service, and we take our equipment with us.
Do we need to provide electricity?
Cooking is gas-fired, so no mains power is needed for the roast. A socket nearby is useful for lighting.
What do you need from us on the day?
The agreed cooking area, access for our equipment and someone to meet us. We bring everything else.
Can you trade at our Christmas fair?
Yes. Hot rolls on a cold evening sell well.
Do you provide china?
We supply plates as standard. China is available at an extra cost.
A closer look at the menu
Roast pork
Hours of slow roasting make the pork soft and full of flavour, and it’s carved fresh as people come up.
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
Rolls or plates? Rolls are quicker; plates suit a sit-down meal, with gluten-free rolls on request.
Planning the cooking spot
Planning the cooking spot is the key. Check these:
- Indoor space for eating
- Space away from buildings, marquees and trees
- A firm surface, as winter grass can be soft
As a London location, Hackney Marshes 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.
Not sure about the cooking spot? Send us a picture and we will tell you honestly.
