FAQs for Aldersbrook
Could you cook in Valentines Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, normally the council, and many parks do not allow cooking. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
Can you get a hog roast into a London garden in Aldersbrook?
It depends on access: a rear gate or yard typically works. Send us a photo and we will tell you honestly.
Do you offer gluten-free rolls?
We can supply gluten-free rolls on request. We’ll give you full allergen information for every dish.
How long does the roast need?
Hours rather than minutes. We’ll confirm our arrival time when we quote.
What if things run late?
We’ll be as flexible as we can. Give us a contact on the day and we will fit around changes.
Do you need power or water?
The roaster runs on gas, so we do not need mains power to cook. Power can help with lighting after dark.
Do you have documents for locations?
Tell us what the production needs, and we will confirm what we can provide.
Can the hog roast be cooked indoors?
Outside, always. Serving indoors is normally fine if the venue is happy.
For event organisers in Aldersbrook
Some venues add a fee for outside caterers, so it is worth asking first. We will liaise with them on access and set-up.
Event organisers frequently ask caterers for paperwork such as a risk assessment. Let us know what your event requires and we will confirm what we can provide.
Planning for dietary needs
Standard rolls and stuffing contain gluten, so ask for gluten-free rolls if you need them. Other tips:
- Ask the production office for dietary needs
- Keep vegetarian food labelled
- Tell us who does not eat pork
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten
