Questions from Queen Street
Is Queen Street close to London?
Roughly 31 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
Could you cook in Foal Hurst Wood?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, generally the council, and many parks don’t allow cooking. Check with them first.
What paperwork do you provide?
Every production is different.
Do we need to provide electricity?
Not to cook, because the roaster is gas-fired. Tell us what’s available and we’ll plan around it.
Do you bring plates?
We supply plates as standard. You can upgrade to china if you prefer.
Do you do DIY hog roast hire?
Yes, we hire out the hog roast machine. We will confirm what comes with it and how to use it.
Can you cater for vegetarians?
Add lamb, chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers or a vegan option. We do not offer halal meat.
How long does a hog roast take to cook?
A whole hog roasts for several hours, which is why we arrive hours ahead. We work back from your serving time.
