Lissenden Gardens questions
Could you cook in Parliament Hill?
Only if the landowner, typically the council, allows it. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
Can you get a hog roast into a London garden in Lissenden Gardens?
It depends on access: a rear gate or yard usually works. Send us a photo and we’ll tell you honestly.
Can we hire the machine and cook it ourselves?
Yes, we hire out the hog roast machine. We’ll explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
What do people get?
The classic: pork in rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. Your quote lists any sides and extras.
How long does a hog roast take to cook?
Several hours, depending on the size and the weather, which is why we arrive hours ahead. We plan the timings from when you want to eat.
Who serves?
No need for your own staff: we carve, serve and tidy up.
How does payment work for businesses?
Get in touch with your details, and the quote will include the terms.
How do you work out quantities?
Quantities are based on your numbers, and we will confirm everything in writing.
Full catering or machine hire?
A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is normally easier.
You could roast a hog yourself, but it’s a long day’s work, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.

Planners, venues and businesses
For venues and planners, we are happy to work alongside your team.
Some venues add a fee for outside caterers, so it is worth asking first. We will work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.
Planning the cooking spot
Planning the cooking spot is the key. Check these:
- A contact on site
- Space away from buildings, vehicles and trees
- Somewhere for staff to eat if it rains
As a London location, Lissenden Gardens is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and access takes planning: tell us about side or rear access, steps and parking for our vehicle.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.
