Hadley Wood: your questions answered
What if our house in Hadley Wood has no side access?
Often, if there’s a rear gate, a front garden or a yard we can use. Tell us about steps, gates and parking and we will advise.
Could you cook in Tudor Sports Ground?
Only if the landowner, typically the council, allows it. Check with them first.
What happens in bad weather?
We cook under a gazebo, so rain isn’t a problem for the roast. A marquee, hall or barn for eating makes all the difference.
Can you cook inside a hall or marquee?
It cooks outside, under a gazebo, on a level spot. Serving indoors is usually fine if the venue is happy.
Do we need to provide electricity?
No, the roast is cooked on gas. Let us know what’s on site.
When should we book?
As early as you can for summer weekends and December. For other dates, a few weeks can be enough. Send your date and we’ll check.
Do you offer gluten-free rolls?
We can supply gluten-free rolls on request. You’ll get allergen details for everything.
Will there be enough to go round?
Quantities are based on your numbers, and we’ll talk it through when we quote.
Before you choose a spot
A good cooking spot makes the day run smoothly. Ideally:
- Flat ground at the unit base
- Somewhere for crew to eat if it rains
- One contact for the day
Hadley Wood is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and access can be tight: tell us about side or rear access, steps and parking for our vehicle.

A closer look at the menu
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Some crew will be vegetarian, so halloumi and vegetable skewers ensure they’re not left with just salad.
Roast pork
Hours of slow roasting make the pork soft and full of flavour, and our chef carves it to order.
Organising for someone else?
If you are a venue or event planner, we’re happy to work alongside your team.
For workplace bookings, ask your facilities team about outside caterers and gas cooking. We work to the site’s rules.
Planning for dietary needs
Standard rolls and stuffing contain gluten, so ask for gluten-free rolls if you need them. Other tips:
- Stuffing normally contains gluten
- Label the alternatives clearly
- Tell us about vegetarians and vegans
- Count crew needing an alternative
We serve quickly on the call.
For an evening wrap.
- Roasted slowly at your venue, outdoors and under cover
- Carved by our chef into rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- Lamb, chicken and vegetarian options alongside the pork
- Served when you’re ready, and we tidy the serving area afterwards
