Common questions in Donnybrook Quarter
Can you get a hog roast into a London garden in Donnybrook Quarter?
Frequently, 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.
Could you cook in Grove Hall Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, typically the council, and many parks do not allow cooking. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
What should we sort out beforehand?
Only the space and a contact number. Everything for roasting and serving comes with us.
Do we need our own staff?
We carve and serve for you, and we clear up when service is finished.
What if it rains?
Rain doesn’t stop the cooking. A marquee, hall or barn for eating makes all the difference.
How big a hog will we need?
We size the roast to your numbers, so tell us your best estimate. We will confirm the menu in the quote.
Do you cover Donnybrook Quarter?
We do. Tell us the venue or postcode and we’ll confirm availability.
Can you cater a wake at short notice?
Generally. Contact us as soon as you have a date and we will answer straight away.
