Questions from Dean Court
How far is Dean Court from London?
About 55 miles from central London.
Can you do a hog roast in Raleigh Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, usually the council, and many parks do not allow cooking. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
What do you need from the organiser?
Cooking is gas-fired. Power helps for lighting.
What happens in bad weather?
Rain does not stop the cooking. Somewhere covered for people to eat helps.
What will our event need from you?
Organisers often ask for a risk assessment or gas safety details. Share your list and we’ll respond.
Can you sell directly to visitors?
Some events pay for a package, others want a stall. We will agree what suits yours.
Do you trade at school events?
Yes, with the school’s permission. Tell us the date and pitch.
When do you start roasting?
Hours rather than minutes. You’ll know our arrival time in advance.
