Tottenham Green: your questions answered
What if our house in Tottenham Green has no side access?
It depends on access: a rear gate or yard generally works. Tell us about steps, gates and parking and we’ll advise.
Could you cook in Chestnuts Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, usually the council, and many parks don’t allow cooking. Check with them first.
How long does a hog roast take to cook?
It depends on the size of the hog and the weather, but it’s several hours. You’ll know our arrival time in advance.
Do you need power or water?
The roaster runs on gas, so we do not need mains power to cook. A socket nearby is useful for lighting.
Can you cook inside a hall or marquee?
Outside, always. Serving indoors is generally fine if the venue is happy.
How do you work out quantities?
The roast is chosen to suit how many you are feeding, so a good estimate matters. The quote sets it out.
Can you do gluten-free?
We can provide gluten-free rolls if you ask. Stuffing typically contains gluten, so check the allergen information.
How do we prepare?
The agreed cooking area, access for our equipment and someone to meet us. We bring everything else.

We set up quietly and start the roast early, well away from the entrance.
Serve on plates with salads and potatoes for a sit-down meal.
What we serve, dish by dish
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Crunchy coleslaw suits roast pork, and salads and new potatoes work well on a plate.
Stuffing and apple sauce
A spoonful of apple sauce and a slice of stuffing make the roll, just as they should.
