What comes off the roaster
Crackling
Good crackling needs time and heat, and a whole hog roasted slowly gets it just right.
Rotisserie chicken
For crew who do not eat pork, rotisserie chicken is the easy answer, and it suits fussy eaters.
Common questions in Morden
Could you cook in Cannon Hill Common?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, usually the council, and many parks do not allow cooking. Ask them first.
Can you get a hog roast into a London garden in Morden?
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.
What about locations off the beaten track?
Usually, with good directions and access details. Let us know about the route.
Do we need our own staff?
No need for your own staff: we carve, serve and tidy up.

It depends on numbers, the menu and how long we’re on site. Send us the details and we’ll quote.

Planners, venues and businesses
Venues frequently have rules for outside caterers, from approved lists to where a gas roaster can go. Ask early, and tell us what they ask for.
For workplace bookings, ask your facilities team about outside caterers and gas cooking. We work to the site’s rules.
What the cooking area needs
The roaster needs the right spot, because it cooks outside for several hours, and a little planning goes a long way:
- A contact in production
- A route for our vehicle
- A safe distance from kit
Morden 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 photo and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
