Could you cook in South Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, normally the council, and many parks don’t allow cooking. Check with them first.

Often, if there’s a rear gate, a front garden or a yard we can use. Send us a picture and we’ll tell you honestly.
What do people get?
Pork, stuffing, apple sauce and crackling in a soft roll. Sides and extra meats are listed in your quote.
Do you work to set times?
