Tower Hamlets: your questions answered
Is Tower Hamlets close to London?
Roughly 65 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
Could you cook in High Meadow?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, typically the council, and many parks do not allow cooking. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
Do you need power or water?
The roaster runs on gas, so we don’t need mains power to cook. A socket nearby is useful for lighting.
Do you bring plates?
We bring plates as standard. If you’d like china, ask and we will add it to the quote.
Do you cater open days with families?
We do. Give us total numbers and we’ll plan for everyone.
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.
What do people get?
Roast pork carved into soft rolls with sage and onion stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. You can add lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options, salads, coleslaw and potatoes.
Can a company book?
Contact us with your details, and we will set out the terms with your quote.

You’ll get allergen information for everything we serve. To make the most of it:
- Stuffing usually contains gluten, so check the allergen list
