What’s the nearest station to Kitts End?
The closest is Hadley Wood station, roughly 1.1 miles away.
Could you cook in King George's Fields (Monken Hadley)?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, usually the council, and many parks don’t allow cooking. Check with them first.

Is crockery included?
We supply plates as standard. China is available at an extra cost.
What if it rains?
We roast under cover, so the food is not affected. Your guests will want somewhere dry to eat.
Can you cook inside a hall or marquee?
It cooks outside, under a gazebo, on a level spot. Serving indoors is typically fine if the venue is happy.

Planning help
Planning for dietary needs
Standard rolls and stuffing contain gluten, so ask for gluten-free rolls if you need them. A few more tips:
- Tell us about vegetarians and vegans
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed
- Halal isn’t offered, so arrange it separately
- Share the allergen information in advance
Give us a contact for the evening, especially for an office party.
China crockery is available on request.
Should I cook it myself?
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is normally easier.
We also hire out the hog roast machine for confident cooks. You cook and carve it yourself; we’ll confirm what comes with it when you ask.

What we serve, dish by dish

Long, slow roasting turns the skin into crackling, and we break it up so everyone gets a piece.
Stuffing and apple sauce
No hog roast roll is complete without sage and onion stuffing and apple sauce, balancing the rich, salty pork.
