Your questions about a hog roast for the crew in St Margarets
Can you do a hog roast in Richmond Green?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, generally the council, and many parks don’t allow cooking. Check with them first.
Can you get a hog roast into a London garden in St Margarets?
Often, if there’s a rear gate, a front garden or a yard we can use. Tell us about steps, gates and parking and we will advise.
What about crew who don’t eat pork?
Add alternatives to suit your crew.
Can we just hire the roaster?
DIY machine hire is available. We will explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.

Typically, with good directions and access details. Let us know about the route.
Can you serve at our lunch call?
We work to your schedule, holding the roast if lunch moves.
How soon do you get booked up?
Summer Saturdays and December book up first. Quieter dates can frequently be booked at shorter notice. Ask and we’ll check.
How much room do you need?
Roughly the footprint of a gazebo or two, on level ground, well clear of walls, tents and branches. We will check it with you before booking.
