Common questions in Maida Vale
Can you get a hog roast into a London garden in Maida Vale?
Often, if there’s a rear gate, a front garden or a yard we can use. Tell us about steps, gates and parking and we will advise.
Could you cook in Emslie Horniman's Pleasance?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, generally the council, and many parks do not allow cooking. Ask them first.
Is there a non-pork option?
We can add lamb or chicken, plus halloumi skewers for vegetarians and a vegan burger or sausage. Halal meat is not something we offer.

Can the food be served indoors?
The roaster stays outside under cover; serving can be indoors.

Planning help
Should I cook it myself?
Catered or DIY? With catering, our chef roasts, carves and serves, and our staff clear up. With DIY hire, you do the work and save on staffing.
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.
