FAQs for East Dulwich
What if our house in East Dulwich has no side access?
It depends on access: a rear gate or yard generally works. Tell us about steps, gates and parking and we will advise.
Can you do a hog roast in Brunswick Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, generally the council, and many parks do not allow cooking. Check with them first.
Can the hog roast be cooked indoors?
It cooks outside, under a gazebo, on a level spot. The food can be carried in and served indoors where the venue allows.
Is there a non-pork option?
There are lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options: spit-roast lamb, rotisserie chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers or a vegan burger or sausage. Please note we don’t offer halal meat.
What comes with the hog roast?
The classic: pork in rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. Sides and extra meats are listed in your quote.
Do we need our own staff?
You do not need anyone else: our chef carves and our team serves and clears.
When do you start roasting?
A whole hog roasts for several hours, which is why we arrive hours ahead. We work back from your serving time.
Do you clear up?
Our staff clear up after service, and leave the area tidy.
