What’s the nearest station to Kingston upon Thames?
Kingston station, in Kingston upon Thames itself.
Can you do a hog roast in Canbury Gardens?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, normally the council, and many parks don’t allow cooking. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.

Do you work to set times?
Yes. Tell us the lunch time and a contact on the day, and we’ll adjust where we can.
Do we need to provide electricity?
Cooking is gas-fired, so no mains power is needed for the roast. A socket nearby is useful for lighting.
Can we just hire the roaster?
Yes, we hire out the hog roast machine. We will explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
Is crockery included?
We bring plates as standard. If you’d like china, ask and we’ll add it to the quote.

We work back from when you want to eat, and a cooked roast can be held for a while if things run late.
