Common questions in Stanmore
Could you cook in St. Cross Park?
Only if the landowner, generally the council, allows it. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
Is Stanmore close to London?
About 62 miles from central London, and well within our area.
Do you do wrap parties?
We do.
Who serves?
We carve and serve for you, and we clear up when service is finished.
How long does a hog roast take to cook?
Hours rather than minutes. We’ll confirm our arrival time when we quote.
Do you clear up?
We pack everything away after service, and we take our equipment with us.
What about coeliacs?
Gluten-free rolls are available on request. Stuffing usually contains gluten, so check the allergen information.
How big a hog will we need?
The roast is chosen to suit how many you’re feeding, so tell us your best estimate. We’ll confirm the menu in the quote.
Planners, venues and businesses
For venues and planners, we’re happy to work alongside your team.
Marquee suppliers typically set distances for cooking equipment, so let them know about the roaster. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.
Step by step
The secret is time: the meat cooks gently until it’s tender while the skin turns into crackling. It rests for a short while before carving. At midsummer, daylight in Stanmore lasts until about 9:25pm, so a wrap party can run into the evening.
- Tell us the base location.
- We confirm where we set up.
- We roast under cover at base.
- We serve rolls or plates quickly.
- We tidy up and go.
Preparing for the day
- Name a contact for the day
