Questions from Forge Wood
How far is Forge Wood from London?
Roughly 25 miles from the centre of London.
Could you cook in Worth Park Gardens?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, typically the council, and many parks don’t allow cooking. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
Is a hog roast smart enough for clients?
It can be as relaxed or polished as you like, depending on the crockery and menu.
Does the roaster have to be outside?
The roaster always stays outside, under cover, away from buildings and marquee walls. We can frequently serve indoors if the venue agrees.
Do we need our own staff?
We carve and serve for you, then clear the serving area afterwards.
Do you need a car park?
Anywhere suitable and approved, as long as it’s outdoors.
Do you clear up?
We pack everything away after service, so you’re not left with the mess.
How do we prepare?
Just the agreed spot and a contact on the day. We bring the roaster, cover and serving kit.
