FAQs for Elm Park
Can you get a hog roast into a London garden in Elm Park?
It depends on access: a rear gate or yard generally works. Tell us about steps, gates and parking and we’ll advise.
Can you do a hog roast in Harrow Lodge Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, generally the council, and many parks do not allow cooking. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
How soon do you get booked up?
As early as you can for summer weekends and December. Quieter dates can frequently be booked at shorter notice. Send your date and we’ll check.
Does the roaster have to be outside?
Outside, always. The food can be carried in and served indoors where the venue allows.
Do you need power or water?
Not to cook, because the roaster is gas-fired. Let us know what’s on site.
Can you cater in Elm Park?
Yes. We cover London and the South East, Elm Park and the rest of Greater London included. Send us the address for a quote.
Can you be flexible on serving time?
We’ll be as flexible as we can. Give us a contact on the day and we’ll fit around changes.
Do you clear up?
We clear the serving area and pack away, and leave the area tidy.

For staff and visitors coming by train, Emerson Park station, about 1.7 miles north-east, is the nearest station.
For staff events in RM12 and RM13, we just need to know where the roaster can cook.

For planners, venues and organisers
If the event is on someone else’s land, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
Booking for a club or group? A single point of contact keeps things simple, particularly when timings shift.
Should I cook it myself?
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from early set-up to carving at the end. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience, especially outdoors.
Step by step
When we arrive, we set up the roaster on the agreed spot, put the cover up and start the roast. From there it cooks low and slow for hours, timed so it’s ready when you want to eat. In Elm Park, summer evenings stay light until about 9:20pm, so an after-work hog roast works well in summer. In late September, the light goes at about 7:05pm.
- Tell us where, when, how many and when you eat.
- We check access and gas rules and quote.
- We set up early and roast through the morning.
- We serve within your break.
- We tidy up and leave.
Preparing for the day
- Tell us about narrow gates or side passages
- Have a level outdoor spot ready
- Check there’s a route to wheel the equipment in, without steps

Space, access and the venue
A hog roast cooks outdoors for hours, so the spot matters, and a little planning goes a long way:
- A named contact for the day
- Somewhere for staff to eat if it rains
- Space away from buildings, vehicles and trees
As a London location, Elm Park 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.
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before booking.
