New Charlton questions
Can you get a hog roast into a London garden in New Charlton?
Frequently, if there is a rear gate, a front garden or a yard we can use. Tell us about steps, gates and parking and we’ll advise.
Which station is closest to New Charlton?
Charlton station, in New Charlton itself.
Does the roaster have to be outside?
It cooks outside, under a gazebo, on a level spot. The food can be carried in and served indoors where the venue allows.
What about coeliacs?
We can provide gluten-free rolls if you ask. Stuffing generally contains gluten, so check the allergen information.
What if things run late?
We work back from when you want to eat, and we can hold the roast for a while if the day runs behind.
Do you go to remote locations?
Share the route to base and we will confirm.
What space does the roaster need?
Enough level ground outdoors for the roaster and a serving table under cover, and a way to wheel everything in. Send us a picture if you are unsure.
Can you cater for vegans on set?
Add alternatives to suit your crew.
A closer look at the menu
Spit-roast lamb
Adding lamb gives people a choice of two roasts, which works well for larger groups.
Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
Tell us how many vegans to expect, and we’ll bring enough vegan burgers or sausages.
Allergies and dietary needs
Some crew won’t eat pork, so plan an alternative. Helpful tips:
- Keep vegetarian food labelled
- Tell us about vegetarians and vegans
- Halal is not offered
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten
When lunch is called, we carve fast.
Ask for gluten-free rolls.
How we price a hog roast for the crew
Things that change the price:
- Travel to New Charlton
- How many people are eating
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
- Plates or china
For larger numbers, a hog roast is normally good value, since one roast goes a long way. The menu, extras such as china and the serving time all affect the final price.
Details that help
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what to include:
- Your menu choices
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- Where the event is
- A photo of the cooking area
Every shoot is quoted on its own, because numbers, menu, serving time and travel vary. Ask us for a quote for your shoot: use our quote form.
Before you choose a spot
The right spot for the roaster makes everything easier. Look for:
- A level area at base
- One contact for the day
- Somewhere for crew to eat if it rains
As a London location, New Charlton is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and access takes planning: let us know how we reach the cooking spot and where we can park.
