Common questions in Southfields
Can you do a hog roast in King George's Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, typically the council, and many parks don’t allow cooking. Check with them first.
What if our house in Southfields has no side access?
It depends on access: a rear gate or yard usually works. Send us a picture and we will tell you honestly.
Can you work around our timings?
We work back from when you want to eat, and we can hold the roast for a while if the day runs behind.
Can you roast in the rain?
We roast under cover, so the food is not affected. Plan somewhere sheltered for eating.
Can you cater a wake at short notice?
We do our best at short notice. Tell us the details for a quick answer.
What should we provide?
Only the place, numbers and a contact. We’ll handle the rest.
Can you cater at home?
At home, a hall, a club or a venue, as long as there’s an outdoor spot to cook.

Every booking is quoted individually, depending on numbers, menu, timings and travel. Tell us about your wake for a quote.

The menu, dish by dish
Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)

A good cooking spot makes the day run smoothly. Look for:
- One contact on the day
- The venue’s agreement to a gas-fired roaster
- A safe distance from the hall
