Can you do a hog roast in Richmond Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, usually the council, and many parks don’t allow cooking. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
Which station is closest to Coombe Hill?
The closest is Norbiton station, roughly 1.6 miles away.
Can the hog roast be cooked indoors?
No, the roast is always cooked outdoors under cover, away from buildings and marquee walls. We can often serve indoors if the venue agrees.
Can you get to rural locations?
We can, given access details. Tell us about tracks and ground.
What about coeliacs?
We can provide gluten-free rolls if you ask. Ask for the allergen list, as stuffing normally contains gluten.
