How the day works
We cook on a gas-fired roaster, so we don’t need mains power to cook; a nearby socket helps with lights if service runs into the evening. By late September, sunset near New Eltham is about 7:05pm, so a late wrap needs lighting at base.

Questions from New Eltham
Which station is closest to New Eltham?
New Eltham has its own station: New Eltham station.
Can you do a hog roast in Elmstead Wood?
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.
Can you set up at the unit base?
At base, on level ground. We’ll agree it with your location manager.
Can you be flexible on serving time?
Because the roast takes hours, we plan from your serving time, and a cooked roast can be held for a while if things run late.
What about a wrap party?
We do, with lamb or chicken if you like.
What should we sort out beforehand?
The agreed cooking area, access for our equipment and someone to meet us. We bring everything else.
Can we just hire the roaster?
Yes, we hire out the hog roast machine. We will confirm what comes with it and how to use it.
Do you need power or water?
Not to cook, because the roaster is gas-fired. Let us know what’s on site.
What comes off the roaster
Rotisserie chicken
Rotisserie chicken is there for anyone who’d rather not have pork, and it suits fussy eaters.
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)

Planning for dietary needs
Rolls and stuffing typically contain gluten, and gluten-free rolls are available on request. A few more tips:
