For planners, venues and organisers
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so it’s worth asking first. We will work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.

Questions from Pollards Hill
Can you do a hog roast in Grangewood Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, typically the council, and many parks do not allow cooking. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
Can you get a hog roast into a London garden in Pollards Hill?
It depends on access: a rear gate or yard normally works. Tell us about steps, gates and parking and we will advise.
Do you offer gluten-free rolls?
We can supply gluten-free rolls on request. You’ll get allergen details for everything.
What about crew who don’t eat pork?
The menu has lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options. Halal meat isn’t something we offer.
Can you work to the call sheet?
That is exactly how we work.
Is crockery included?
Plates come as standard. China crockery is available on request and quoted separately.
What if it rains?
We cook under a gazebo, so rain is not a problem for the roast. Somewhere covered for people to eat helps.
