Before you choose a spot
Most gardens, car parks, yards and fields work with a little planning. Here’s what helps:
- Space inside for guests
- A contact for the day who isn’t immediate family
- Vehicle access near the cooking area
Ealing 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 in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before booking.

Common questions in Ealing
Can you get a hog roast into a London garden in Ealing?
It depends on access: a rear gate or yard usually works. Send us a photo and we will tell you honestly.
Can you cater after a service at St Saviour's Church?
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 usually elsewhere. Send us the address.
What’s included?
Roast pork carved into soft rolls with sage and onion stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. Extras include lamb, chicken, halloumi skewers, a vegan option, salads and potatoes.
What happens in bad weather?
We roast under cover, so the food is not affected. Your guests will want somewhere dry to eat.
Do you need anything from the family?
Only the place, numbers and a contact. We bring everything else.
Can you do something else?
Chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers or a vegan option. We don’t offer halal meat.
Can you be flexible on serving time?
Within reason, we can. Keep us posted on the day and we’ll fit around changes.
Do you offer gluten-free rolls?
Ask for gluten-free rolls and we’ll bring them. You will get allergen details for everything.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
Allergies and dietary needs are easy to manage if we know in advance. Some ideas:
- Ask us to label the vegetarian food
- Request gluten-free rolls
- Stuffing generally contains gluten
- Plates are easier for older guests than rolls
We hold the food if people are delayed; just let us know.
If there was a favourite dish from our menu, tell us.
For planners, venues and organisers
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so it’s worth asking first. We will work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.
Venues often have rules for outside caterers, including where gas cooking is allowed. Check early, and tell us what they ask for.
