FAQs for Waltham Forest
What’s the nearest station to Waltham Forest?
Chingford station, about 0.6 miles west of the centre.
Can you do a hog roast in Linder's Field?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, generally the council, and many parks do not allow cooking. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
Do you cover Waltham Forest?
Yes. We cater across London and the South East, including Waltham Forest and Greater London. Tell us the venue and we will quote.
What about crew who don’t eat pork?
We can add lamb or chicken, plus halloumi skewers for vegetarians and a vegan burger or sausage. Halal meat is not something we offer.
Can you do gluten-free?
We can provide gluten-free rolls if you ask. Ask for the allergen list, as stuffing normally contains gluten.
Is mains power needed?
Not to cook, because the roaster is gas-fired. Let us know what’s on site.
Where do you set up on a shoot?
Normally, if there is a level, open spot for the roaster under cover. Locations will confirm the spot.
Can we hire the machine and cook it ourselves?
We do, if you are happy to roast and carve yourself. Ask and we will talk you through it.
What the cooking area needs
Planning the cooking spot is the key. Check these:
- A covered eating area
- A level spot at base for the roaster
- One contact for the day
Waltham Forest is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and access can be tight: let us know how we reach the cooking spot and where we can park.
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before booking.

What comes off the roaster
Spit-roast lamb
Spit-roast lamb cooks slowly like the hog, carved to order at the serving station.
Roast pork
The hog roasts slowly for hours, so the meat is tender and juicy, and it is carved fresh as people come up.
The process
We cook on a gas-fired roaster, so cooking doesn’t depend on mains power; a nearby socket helps with lights if service runs into the evening. Early starts matter for a hog roast at base, and winter daylight in Waltham Forest ends around 3:50pm.
- We start with the location, call times and numbers.
- We check access to base and quote.
- Our position and arrival are agreed in advance.
- We carve to order the moment lunch is called.
- Afterwards we clear our spot at base.
Preparing for the day
- Plan somewhere sheltered for people to eat if it rains
- Send final numbers in good time
- Measure the narrowest gate or passage
