Questions from North Harrow
Could you cook in Headstone Manor Recreation Ground?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, typically the council, and many parks don’t allow cooking. Check with them first.
We’re gathering after a service at Church of St Alban: can you cater?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby with an outdoor spot for the roaster. Churches rarely have space for a hog roast, so the food is usually elsewhere. Send us the address.
How big a hog will we need?
The roast is chosen to suit how many you are feeding, so tell us your best estimate. The quote sets it out.
What about guests who do not eat pork?
Add lamb, chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers or a vegan option. We do not offer halal meat.
Can you be flexible on serving time?
We work back from when you want to eat, and a cooked roast can be held for a while if things run late.
What do you need from us on the day?
The agreed cooking area, access for our equipment and someone to meet us. We bring everything else.
Can you cook inside a hall or marquee?
It cooks outside, under a gazebo, on a level spot. Serving indoors is normally fine if the venue is happy.
What if the service runs late?
Give us a contact for the day and we’ll serve when everyone is there.
Where the roaster can go in North Harrow
The roaster needs the right spot, because it cooks outside for several hours, and a little planning goes a long way:
- Permission from the hall or venue
- One contact on the day
- Flat ground outside the hall or house
North Harrow is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and access can be tight: tell us about side or rear access, steps and parking for our vehicle.
Not sure about the cooking spot? Send us a photo and we will tell you honestly.
