FAQs for Clapham Junction
We are gathering after a service at Clapham Welsh Presbyterian Church: can you cater?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Churches rarely have space for a hog roast, so the food is generally elsewhere. Tell us where you will gather.
Could you cook in Imperial Park?
Only if the landowner, generally the council, allows it. Ask them first.
Can you do something else?
Chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers or a vegan option. We do not offer halal meat.

What do people get?

The process

- Food is ready as guests gather.
- We clear away discreetly.
Before we arrive
