Mortlake questions
What if our house in Mortlake has no side access?
It depends on access: a rear gate or yard normally works. Tell us about steps, gates and parking and we will advise.
Could you cook in Palewell Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, usually the council, and many parks don’t allow cooking. Ask them first.
When should we book our Christmas party?
The earlier the better. Midweek dates are easier.
Can you do gluten-free?
We can provide gluten-free rolls if you ask. Ask for the allergen list, as stuffing normally contains gluten.
What comes with the hog roast?
Roast pork carved into soft rolls with sage and onion stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. Extras include lamb, chicken, halloumi skewers, a vegan option, salads and potatoes.
Do we need to provide electricity?
Not to cook, because the roaster is gas-fired. Let us know what’s on site.
What space does the roaster need?
A flat, open spot outside, and a way to wheel everything in. A photo helps.
How much will it be?
It depends on numbers, the menu and how long we are on site. Tell us your date and we’ll send a price.
Christmas hog roast in Mortlake, carved to order
It is dark before 4pm in December, so we set up in daylight and roast through the afternoon. We’ll need light around the serving area. We serve halloumi skewers, roast turkey and hog roast rolls, and typical bookings are for end-of-year team celebrations and new Year parties.
Around Mortlake, a Christmas booking needs a lit, covered outdoor cooking spot. In London, access needs planning, as December is busy on the roads. Let us know about allergies and dietary needs in advance, and we will tell you exactly what’s in each dish before you book.

The menu, dish by dish
Stuffing and apple sauce
Apple sauce brings sweetness and sharpness are the traditional pairing. Stuffing normally contains gluten.
Crackling
For many people, the crackling is the best bit: golden, crunchy and salty.
Step by step
Rain doesn’t stop the roast, because we cook under cover. Your guests will still want somewhere dry to eat, such as a marquee, hall or barn. In December, it’s dark in Mortlake by about 3:55pm, so plan lighting for any party after mid-afternoon. We set up in daylight and roast into the evening.
- It starts with your date, venue and rough numbers.
- We check the venue and send a price.
- On the day we arrive early and get the roast going.
- The team serves hot rolls at the agreed time.
- Afterwards we pack up and leave the spot tidy.
How to prepare
- Choose someone to meet us on arrival
- Choose a level, open spot outdoors for the roaster
- Measure the narrowest gate or passage

Planning help
Before you choose a spot
The roaster needs space, cover and a safe distance from anything that could catch the heat. Things to check:
- Space away from buildings, marquees and trees
- Light by the serving table
- Flat ground outside, with lights for after dark
Mortlake is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and access can be tight: tell us about side or rear access, steps and parking for our vehicle.
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.
