Common questions in Merton Park
Can you do a hog roast in Morden Hall Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, generally the council, and many parks do not allow cooking. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
What’s the nearest station to Merton Park?
South Merton station, about 0.5 miles south of the centre.
Can you cater for vegetarians?
We can add lamb or chicken, plus halloumi skewers for vegetarians and a vegan burger or sausage. Halal meat isn’t something we offer.
How soon do you get booked up?
Summer Saturdays and December book up first. Quieter dates can frequently be booked at shorter notice. Send your date and we’ll check.
What should we sort out beforehand?
A clear, level cooking spot, a route to wheel the equipment in and a contact for the day. We bring everything else.
How much does a hog roast cost?
Each event is priced on its own, based on numbers, menu, service time and distance. Tell us about your shoot for a quote.
Do you bring plates?
Plates come as standard. If you’d like china, ask and we will add it to the quote.
Can you serve at our lunch call?
We work to your schedule, holding the roast if lunch moves.
Before you choose a spot
It’s worth planning the cooking area in advance. We look for:
- Sign-off from the location
- Vehicle access to base
- A safe distance from kit
Merton Park is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and access can be tight: let us know how we reach the cooking spot and where we can park.
Not sure about the cooking spot? Send us a picture and we will tell you honestly.

- Stuffing normally contains gluten
We arrive early and set up at base, roasting through the morning.

How the day works
Service is quick once we start carving: the chef carves and the team serves, with the sides served alongside. When everyone has eaten, we clear up and leave the spot tidy. On a winter shoot near Merton Park, the light goes by about 3:55pm, so the unit base needs lighting for late service. Summer shoots have daylight until about 9:20pm.
- Send us the location, dates and lunch time.
- We confirm access and send a price.
- The roast starts early.
- We carve fast on the lunch call.
- We pack away straight after.
Before we arrive
- Confirm numbers ahead of the day
- Plan somewhere sheltered for people to eat if it rains
