Common questions in Old Chiswick
Can you get a hog roast into a London garden in Old Chiswick?
Often, if there is a rear gate, a front garden or a yard we can use. Send us a picture and we will tell you honestly.
Can you do a hog roast in Turnham Green?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, generally the council, and many parks don’t allow cooking. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
How much room do you need?
A flat, open spot outside, and a way to wheel everything in. A picture helps.
Do we need to provide electricity?
The roaster runs on gas, so we do not need mains power to cook. Power can help with lighting after dark.
Do you clear up?
Our staff clear up after service, leaving the spot as we found it.
What’s included?
Roast pork carved into soft rolls with sage and onion stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. Extras include lamb, chicken, halloumi skewers, a vegan option, salads and potatoes.
Is there a non-pork option?
We can add lamb or chicken, plus halloumi skewers for vegetarians and a vegan burger or sausage. We do not provide halal meat.
Can you work around our timings?
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.
Working with your venue
For venues and planners, we can fit around your other suppliers.
Marquee hire companies frequently have rules about cooking near their tents, so tell them a hog roast is coming. We’ll keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.
Is a hog roast right for your shoot?
For a wrap party, a hog roast feels like a reward. The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, along with distance and how easy the site is. There is no one-size price, so we quote each one individually.
