Croydon: your questions answered
Can you do a hog roast in Park Hill Recreation Ground?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, generally the council, and many parks do not allow cooking. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
What’s the nearest station to Croydon?
South Croydon station, in Croydon itself.
What space does the roaster need?
Enough level ground outdoors for the roaster and a serving table under cover, and a way to wheel everything in. A picture helps.
What’s included?
Rolls with roast pork, stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. Extras include lamb, chicken, halloumi skewers, a vegan option, salads and potatoes.
Who serves?
Our chef carves and our staff serve, and we clear up when service is finished.
What’s the price?
It depends on numbers, the menu and how long we’re on site. Send us the details and we will quote.
Do you provide china?
We bring plates as standard. China crockery is available on request and quoted separately.
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.
Full catering or machine hire?
You could go for a cold buffet, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience.
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from early set-up to carving at the end. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
Allergies and dietary needs
Some visitors will not eat pork, so it’s worth adding an alternative. Helpful tips:
- Halal is not offered
- Make the stall easy to find
- Show allergens at the stall
- Tell us if there is a vegetarian or vegan focus
We clear the pitch and take everything away.
If your event has a theme, tell us.
